HP Pavilion DV 2000 series and freeBSD 7.0-STABLE-200807

[ZeuZ Diavolo Deimos]

Hi everyone, let me start of describing the situation ;)
As for 7.0-STABLE release, I wasnt able to even boot, not even setting various parameters at boot time.
Once I got it to boot, it installed, then panicked all over.
So I waited to a recent snapshot and it booted, installed, and worked, well, partially.
ACPI/APM Are both not working compleately.
Also, this Machine has a Turion 64X2 processor wich I'm using with i386 version since it has an nvidia card inside. I've followed some links and saw that there was a known idle_cpu patch because of the lack of performance, what I don't actually know, is if that patch is allready included in 7.0-STABLE-200807 snapshot, can someone confirm this?

Also, seems like ndis/ndisgen is broken with Broadcom adapter now, it's the troublesome BCM43/B43/Dell Mini PCI-CARD 1390, is there any plan on something like the weird Linux module for it to become native on FreeBSD? Or is there some other BSD that supports it where I can look and try to export the driver to FreeBSD?

Well, apart from that, my laptop has a lack of performance compared to Debian (wich is the distro wich I've been using for the last 4 years fulltime) wich I don't feel on my desktop where 7.0 release outblazes Debian for a good trunk (Running on a Intel Pentium Dual Core clocked at 3.66ghz each core) even Debian behing tunned up from filesystem, to kernel, from the out-of-the-box-state.

Anyone else having the same laptop that can give me a hint on this? 
Also, for powersaving, the laptop display (trying to use xsetbacklight) responds like if the display could not be brighted down (in fBSD) with the misterious Output "No Outputs have backlight option" wich i've researched and seen Ubuntu users with the same problem over nvidia GeForce Go! 6150 cards.
Appart from that, running freeBSD the disk seems to have problems spunning and there´s a weird noise that I beleave comes from the hard drive like if it wasnt behing recognized properly or dealt with properly.
The disk status is correct, no failures detected whatsoever, also this seems to not be affecting the laptop when the power cord is not present.

Any help or contribution is very appreciated.
Thanks in advice.
Anibal.
