I still can't rest the laptop, but the snoozing problem (Fn+F6) goes away if the MSS driver is disabled. It will snooze and wake just fine (except that the APM driver doesn't know about snoozing, and the clock does not get fixed). resting (lid switch or zzz) still does not wake up properly (frozen hourglass). >2. enabling psm0 causes the keyboard to be totally and utterly >frozen.

I am anxious to hear from ANYONE who has a laptop with a PS/2 style pointing device that's working with a 2.0.5-RELEASE kernel. I actually hope that this is a FreeBSD bug, or I'll be very, very upset. Thanks in advance for any help. -- Nick Sayer <nsayer@quack.kfu.com> | "You see it. You hear it.
