That is the output of 'sysctl -a | grep dev.est' and I don't have any
additional settings.
May be something is wrong with the ACPI on this Acer notebook. There
were errors in the DSDT table but after fixing them the output is the
same. Actually I have problems with the bge card, it does not work with
acpi enabled because it can't map memory...
Let me know if you want any additional information?
