It looks like you are running the 600E with ACPI. I have never been able
to get ACPI to work with my 600e and run it with APM. I am sure that
there are BIOS issues, but many BIOS problems have been worked around in
the latest code, so it probably works better by now. I have not tried
ACPI on the unit for about 2 years, so it may work better, now, but this
makes it look like it's not there quite yet. Unfortunately, it will take
me a day to update the system to 5.3 before I can really do any testing
on it.

I'll try to get to it this week, but I can't promise anything as I have
been away for two weeks and am a bit behind.

Actually, there are a couple of sites with FreeBSD laptop information. I
can't say how well either is maintained.
