( Thanks Ian,i'm not in -acpi@) .

Michael, I may be missing what you want to do (my apologies if that is the
case!!) , but if you want to show some info, you can use deskutils/tpb.

see http://www.meijome.net/files/freebsd/2007-05-29-13.52.22.jpg for what it
does when I press the volume up.

I am pretty certain it doesnt need any special devd configuration (you of
course need acpi_ibm loaded, and ensure the sysctl is changed when you press
they volume keys.)
