hi

i am wondering if some got this acer nb's working well on v5 or v6

I have an Acer 3002 and fbsd6-B5 is installing and working fine for me  when 
not looking at notebook issues ...

I have no battery control at all and when it comes to end it is like a 
power-failure (=off)

I noticed zillions of "AE_whatever_battery_.." in messages and I could stop 
this by

debug.acpi.disabled="cmbat"

in /boot/loader.conf

I set 

apm_enable="YES"

in rc.conf and in KDE the kdelaptopd reports "on AC"or "on Bat" but still no 
powermangement and it's ever fully charged or empty

apm is not compiled in my kernel as well as acpi is not and acpi is normally 
loaded at boot

even if I see msgs like "power_profile economy" in messages after some time of 
inactivity there is no real power management

is there anybody doing better or has suggestions?

I saw a doc about Acer smart batteries on FBSD and ACPI, does it mean that 
acpi is not working on my NB actually?

the page of the following link do has any chance on Fbsd?

http://www.archernar.co.uk/acer_acpi/acer_acpi_main.html

So final question is if some compiled with success amd64 on this NB with 
Sempron Mobile 2800+ (1600Mhz) ?

btw: who wants to now the onboard broadcom WL is working very well with ndis 
on 2.4 and 5.8 to my surprise
