Compaq Presario 2585 problem

Dear All!
A few weeks ago i was asking here about how to get my Subj's ACPI to 
work properly.
Now i have read more about this and kindly asking for some additional help.
What i have:
I did search for new bios update, dsdt files anything for my notebook 
and found out nothing that could be helpful. New bios changing unneeded 
features (i have no problems with TV hot key that bios update provides 
and i found no DSDT file for my notebook even for similar and 
unfocheantly i could not understand what should i do with asl/dsdt files)
I was trying to run devd to monitor at least my battery and added the 
following to the end of devd.conf file (actualy exactly from the example)

notify 10 {
        match "system"          "ACPI";
        match "subsystem"       "ACAD";
        action                  "/etc/acpi_ac $notify";
};
notify 10 {
        match "system"          "ACPI";
        match "subsystem"       "CMBAT";
        action                  "/etc/acpi_ac $notify";
};

and i did create file /etc/acpi_ac $notify
that is writing $notify ($1) to the log just to find out what is going 
to happend

i did start devd daemon and got nothing in the log even when my notebook 
switches to the battery and working on it till the very power loss.

according to reccomendations in 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/acpi-debug.html
i did a dump even not changing names :)
acpidump -t -d -o foo.dsdt > foo.asl
then tryed to recompile the disassembled file
iasl foo.asl
And got two errors (and a few warnings that i could ignore according to 
the mentioned handbook page)
foo.asl   908:                             If (LNot (LEqual (ShiftRight 
(And (Local1, 0x10), 0x03), And (Local2, 0x02))))
Error    1013 -                           Method local variable is not 
initialized ^  (Local1)
 
foo.asl  2321:                     Name (_HID, "*SYN0106")
Error    1068 -    String must be entirely alphanumeric ^  (*SYN0106)
 
Could someone please give me the place to read about what should i do 
because man pages are nt very descriptive. Or maybe someone already 
solved this? Any help will be appreciated.

Best regads,
