I've seen this before on an Inspiron 1150, but not on a 5150.  I don't
have a 5160, but I suppose it's similar. You may have found an answer,
that this depends on the version of FreeBSD you're running.  Take a
look at http://www.lemis.com/grog/diary-jan2005.html#20 ; basically, I
got mine to work with the following addition to device.hints:

  +# Needed on Inspiron 1150
  +hint.psm.0.flags="0x1000"
