ACPI support - Freebsd 10 on Sony Vaio VPCCA3C5E

Hi Guys,

I have successfully compiled and installed the kernel with ACPI debug.

@Anthony: my problem was definitely related to an outdated code base.

So my question is now: "what should I do?". Is there any log or command I
should issue in order to have a better understanding of the problem?

Cheers,
Daniele.
