ACPI - APM .. weird things

HI! I sent an email few days ago about ACPI and APM problems on my compaq 
presario 1800.

I update the system,from 5.1-RELEASE to 5.2-RC2, downalod the sys with cvsup, 
recompile ONLY the kernel to :
>uname -a
FreeBSD 127.0.0.1 5.2-CURRENT FreeBSD 5.2-CURRENT #0: Wed Dec 31 15:04:17 GMT 
2003     root at 127.0.0.1:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/MYKERNEL  i386
(MYKERNEL is the GENERIC with device pcm, because adding snd_ess_load="YES" on 
loader.conf wasn't actually creating /dev/dsp.. but this is a different 
story :p)

with 5.1-RELEASE, 5.2 RC2 and now 5.2 CURRENT, the problem is still the same, 
the ACPI doesn't show the life time of the battery. with the 5.2 CURRENT I 
have tried to enable the apm:
>loader.conf:
add apm_load="YES"  #added

>device.hints :
hint.acpi.0.disabled=1 #added
hint.apm.0.disabled=0 #modified

>rc.conf
apm_enabled="YES" #added
apmd_enabled="YES" #added

after the reboot, nothing didn't change, the apm was only saying that I had a 
battery and the total charge of it, but still nothing about the time, so I 
decide to put back the acpi, so I remmed out in device.hints the lines that I 
added, and delete the line on loader.conf, forgottin to delete the lines in 
the rc.conf

after the reboot I saw the line in the dmesg that said that apm wasn't 
compiled with the kernel, I remmed out that lines, but before reboot I 
checked the battery status writing APM

>apm
APM version: 1.2
APM Management: Disabled
AC Line status: off-line
Battery status: high
Remaining battery life: 83%
Remaining battery time:  2:56:00
Number of batteries: 1
Battery 0:
        Battery status: high
        Remaining battery life: 83%
        Remaining battery time:  2:56:00
Resume timer: unknown
[...]

I can see the battery time... I start KDE and also KDE was working fine with 
it, reading the life and the time of the battery....

I rebooted with the lines in the rc.conf remmed out, I still get error on the 
boot from the ACPI (I'll copy the dmesg), but I still can see the life and 
time of the battery, except for KDE, that says that apm is not running...

AND.. when I "put to sleep" the computer, the monitor doesn't go off, except 
if I close the lid. when I try to "wake up" the computer, sometime I get some 
errors after:
ata0: resetting devices ..
but everything works fine.

I don't get the errors if I am in X (KDE)

last thing:

when I was running 5.1-RELEASE the acpi was putting down the use of the CPU in 
battery mode from 8 to 4, with 5.2 the cpu works always at 8:
