hi Dan,

sysctl.conf works ok for me:

# Needed for custom ACPI control
# This will pass ACPI events to devd after acpi_ibm. 
#    Custom devd config can be found in /usr/local/etc/devd
dev.acpi_ibm.0.events=1

BUT i clearly remember that a few times, after rebuilding kernel (or world?)
events wouldn't be set, as it is the case with you. It hasn't happened for a
while..and I don't remember if it was on 6 or 7...

it just got fixed by building kernel again, i think...
