After just getting into FreeBSD a few months ago I have learned great deal about UNIX-based machines thanks to using it and the stellar documentation. I do however have one complaint and that is the ACPI implementation. Maybe I just have bad luck but I have had a lot of issues on both my Dell Vostro 1310 Laptop and ASUS P5K Deluxe-based Desktop. For example, on my Vostro 1310 I cannot power the machine down at all but every single Power-Management feature works in Linux. On my desktop machine with the P5K Deluxe motherboard I can shutdown but cannot suspend. (All power-management features also work in Linux) According to one post in the forum I learned that suspend works on 8-Current AMD64 but could not find out if that was the same for i386. I installed a amd64 Current Snapshot (6-8-2009) on my Desktop and noticed that the machine would react to acpiconf -s 3 (keyboard and monitor would turn off but machine would not) but unfortunately would result in a lockup and a need to manually restart it. While I am no coder I will be more than happy to both submit any information necessary (I already have posted about my Vostro 1310 which can be found here) along with any testing that needs to be done. I apologize if this post is in the wrong forum and if it affends anybody. I am very thankful for all of your hard work in easily making FreeBSD my favorite operating system.
