Recompilation of the Kernel has been discussed many times within the Linux forum on this site.

If that doesn't help, STW and ye shall find.

Also, do not be "scared off" when people mention recompiling the kernel. As long as you have a bit of experience, and select options carefully, there's not a great deal to it. Be sure you read up on it thoroughly before hand. Also, keep a backup of your current kernel whilst you test your new kernel - that way you can roll back if it all goes up the creek.

NetBSD 6.1.2: apm and admd not found

I installed NetBSD 6.1.2 amd64 and can't find the apm utility. Is it not in the base system? Is it necessary to recompile the default amd64 kernel to use apm? Or is there a new method for power management and suspend/resume?

APM(1)                                                                                                                                      APM(1)

NAME

       apm - interface with the APM subsystem

SYNOPSIS

       apm [ -VvmMsSdin ]

DESCRIPTION

       This  command  requires  the Advanced Power Management subsystem.  If run without arguments it reads /proc/apm and presents the output in a
       human-readable format.

       Given a -S or -s option it requests that the machine be put into the APM standby or the APM  suspend  state,  respectively.   For  a  brief
       description of these states, see apmd(8).

OPTIONS

       -V, --version
              Print the version of the program and exit.

       -v, --verbose
              Also  print  version  information  for the APM subsystem.  The APM subsystem consists of power-management hardware, firmware usually
              referred to as the APM BIOS and a driver in the operating system kernel.

       -m, --minutes
              Print the time remaining as a number of minutes.  The default is to print the time remaining in "hours:minutes" format.

       -M, --monitor
              Continuously monitor and update the status information.  Assumes that the standard output is a terminal.

       -S, --standby
              Request that the machine be put into the APM standby state.

       -s, --suspend
              Request that the machine be put into the APM suspend state.

       -d, --debug
              Print APM status information in a format more useful for debugging.  Implies -v.
