That's a deficiency in the X server though isn't it? Without X running 
this fix would do no good. I thought the problem was in either the 
kernel ACPI implementation or in devd.

I do not claim to be in any degree an expert in this though since I am 
not at all familiar with the inner workings of either. I'm just trying 
to set up this laptop to work nicely with FreeBSD. :).
