Hello,

Thanks for the tip, It worked (not sure if it's 100% tough).

Here is the output of the isl loading the new .asl:

Intel ACPI Component Architecture

dmesg:

It has one or two pending acpi errors.

I've been testing powerd and is working flawessly. I had to add cpufreq_load
to loader.conf in order to powerd work, isn't there a way to include it in
the kernel?

Also my sound (HDA) card works fine with a new driver at multimedia_at_ .

In terms of hardware it seems almost "supported" :)

Thanks in advance.
