I have the exact same problem on my Fujitsu P2110.

Try this patch to acpi_video:
http://am-productions.biz/docs/acpi_video_dpms.patch

It helps (you'll probably get 10-12 hours now) as it will shutoff the 
video adapter, but I still have the power drain problem.  I'm not 
sure what isn't powering down correctly since I've tried to suspend 
with all the power management tunables for max power saving.

In my /boot/loader.conf:
hw.pci.do_power_nodriver="3"
