You should either stay on 4.x and live without ACPI, or upgrade to -current 
and live with all that goes with that.  At least test -current and see if 
that works better for you.  Then subscribe to the -current mailing list and 
ask questions there.  They are currently working a lot on improving ACPI

First read this:

Them are the breaks,
