I've been periodically trying new versions of RELENG_6 during these
several months that passed from July.  So far there're still major
problems:

  - Keyboard does not work when booted w/ ACPI.  vmstat -i shows that
    irq9 does not receive any interrupts.  This happens both with
    kbdmux and w/out it, and dmesg output does not show any irq9
    override.
  - Suspend/resume still do not work (well, it does not come up from
    resume, really).  reset_video=1 hack does not help.

My dmesg, ASL, etc. is attached to the mail I am replying to, so I won't
attach them here, but they can be easily found (google for "FreeBSD nec
versa s950" and you'll get the link to my previous email with all the
attachments there).

Anything I can do about it?

Thanks.
