Alas, you are not the only person to have had that problem with the
Acer Travelmate:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-newbies/2003-September/000773.html
Which suggests that the problem is incompatability between the OS and
the hardware. I've no idea if the poster of that message ever found a
solution. And the other approach which often works when trying to
figure out recalcitrant laptops: hunting through the /Linux/ sites for
clues, that doesn't seem to turn up much useful, other than listing a
bunch of distro's that do or don't work with it.
I suggest you ask again on the freebsd-mobile@... list.
Cheers,
Matthew
