Still trying to get things set up in a way at least keeping my
machine from suddenly shutting down at the end of battery power, I
still didn't find a good solution for my problems. Basically, I gave
up on "normal" APM since in no FBSD release apm is able to find my
system battery. Enabling ACPI, those things are fine. Running
FreeBSD 5.1, anyhow, the system itself still completely crashes
whenever I try starting X with ACPI enabled (sometimes just black
screen and reboot, sometimes screen full of coloured ascii art and
then reboot, sometimes immediate reboot). Reading several pieces of
documentation and sites found using google still has left me pretty
clueless... hints, anyone?

TIA, have a nice day.
Cheers,
Kris
