    In attempting to get sound working on a Dell 7500 Inspiron (cira 1994) I tried
    many combinations of ACPI and APM thinking that my sound problems stemmed from
    interrupt or irq/pnp problems. That turned out not to be the case. Now
    everything is working, but I am using a combination of the two as documented
    below.

    Did I just 'luck out' or does apmd (sorta) by design work with the environment
    it finds?

    -------------------------
    /boot/loader.conf
      snd_maestro_load="YES"

    /etc/rc.conf
      apm_enable="YES"
      apmd_enable="YES"

    kldstat
    Id Refs Address Size Name
     1 9 0xc0400000 5cdad0 kernel
     2 1 0xc09ce000 7200 snd_maestro.ko
     3 2 0xc09d6000 1d4fc sound.ko
     4 14 0xc09f4000 537f0 acpi.ko
     5 1 0xc1690000 17000 linux.ko

    So apm.ko is not loaded. However everything works. I got to this configuration
    by accident (i.e., I forgot rc.conf). 'apm -l' works, 'apm -z' works and I can
    resume okay.
