Hi!

 I am new to FreeBSD so please be gentle on me, especially if this is a FAQ.

I am running DesktopBSD 1.6.1 live DVD on my sony vaio VGN SZ483NC laptop. I notice that the acpi_ibm module is very feature rich while the acpi_sony module almost feels like a stub. 

I know that under Linux there has been extensive work to reverse engineer the Fn keys on sony Vaio laptops. See

or

I am wondering if something similar to that is already available or in the works for FreeBSD as well?
