ACPI support - Freebsd 10 on Sony Vaio VPCCA3C5E

[Anthony Jenkins]

What's the error(s)?  As root, you should type

cd /usr/src && patch < path/to/atrtc.c.patch


...the '#' was just an indicator of the root user shell prompt.  If it applies properly, rebuild the kernel and reboot.  If not, send your /usr/src/sys/x86/isa/atrtc.c file and I can manually patch it and send it back.  I guess I could roll my kernel sources back to the revision you indicated earlier...
