Award Bios, ACPI, Mouse and PR 55473???

[Brian Black]

hi,
    I have been trying to post to different lists looking for a 
solution.  though i have found some advice i have not found the 
solution.  i was recently informed that i should post this question to 
the -current list(i should of done this earlier).  I have a "Soyo Dragon 
Light" mother board which has this award bios.  I have verified that my 
bios has been flashed with the most up-to date version(Well whatever the 
motherboard manufacture says).  
    Now am certainly not a kernel hacker but i do understand a little 
bit of C code.  The PR goes on to talk about a "Fix", which involves 
editing the "/urs/sys/dev/acpica/acpi_pci_link.c".  After making the 
changes i had no luck :-(.  Now i have been told that some people with 
this bios are not affected.  Well would'nt that mean the the bios are 
not  the same?  I have contacted "Soyo" on this matter.  They state on 
their web site that freebsd is supported,  but have not returned my 
e-mail. 
    How would i be able to determine weather this problem can be fixed 
by FreeBsd or the manufacture of the mother board?  Is This problem 
being looked at for 5.2R  i have not been able to really sink into using 
the new 5.x series because of this problem(So what i like GUI's a 
little). ;-)

Thanx guys,
Brian
