x86-based architectures use my patch, including amd64.  It patches the sys/x86/isa/atrtc.c driver.  I'll attach it... might fix some stuff.  I've been running it on my laptop for several weeks and posted it to this newsgroup some time ago, so it should be safe at least.

    # cd /usr/src && patch < path/to/atrtc.c.patch

Not at all... I'm scared I can't really help you with your problem.  At least it helps me learn ACPI.

P.S. I alternate between top-posting and bottom-posting, depending on the audience...I know I've switched at least twice in this thread.
