While some of the freebsd-acpi gurus seem to keep an eye on mobile@ at 
times, most previous efforts in this regard have taken place in acpi@ to

at least, maybe with a fresh post, links to verbose dmesg, acpidump and 
whatever else might be relevant; you know the drill :)

cheers, Ian (fat lot of help, I know)
