freebsd stable - Oct 2006 - kldunload -f has no effect

I need to 'kldunload -f drm' in order to go into suspend to ram with my
thinkpad (suspend works fine with dri disabled). Unfortunately, despite the
claims of the manpage the '-f' flag does not alter the behaviour of the
kldunload tool. How do I get drm unloaded?

In my experience using -f will result in a kernel panic. And
that's well documented in the manual page. I guess you are
lucky it didn't work:) So, why don't you just reboot? and keep
the module off your kernel(if that's an option).

The easy way, just reboot. Or the hard way, fix the kernel module!
