I hope someone can help me with this. My problem is that I have patch FreeBSD with PAO so we can use the PCMCIA port. However, we have a problem with what I think is the APM. The Gateway notebook has a feature that when you fold the screen, the computer apparently go to sleep. When you open up the screen to use the computer again it is suppose to wake up. Under Windows 95 it does. However with FreeBSD 2.2.1-Release it does not. The computer just freeze forcing a hard reboot which cause the OS to fsck every time. Has anyone came across this problem. The computer we have is a Gateway 2000 Solo. It is a Pentium 120 with 16 M and a 3Com PCMCIA Ethenet Link III and a Cirrus PCMCIA interface card. Any help is greatly appreciated. Hung
