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/00077= 3.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.
