    It sounds like it's working fine under 5.0/5.1, if you keep ACPI turned
    off. Although the lack of ACPI/APM on a laptop is a major annoyance,
    FreeBSD is working.

    ACPI is a relatively new feature of FreeBSD. It still has some rough
    edges. My suggestion is to take this off of the -newbies list (since
    the charter is 'no technical questions') and concentrate on ACPI on the
    -questions, -mobile or -hardware lists.
