BTW, you were right about USB causing huge numbers of BM events. Without it in my kernel, things are quiet and C3 is used. I just committed the driver (FreeBSD). Playing mp3s also results in BM activity but that is expected. I plan to add a quiesce method to our USB drivers so that ACPI can shut the polling off while idle. -Nate ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.
