A lot of changes went into the laptop support after 2.2.5 was released. I don't know how well PAO works, but 2.2-STABLE is working really well on my laptop now.

The good stuff isn't in 2.2.5. :-( If you want the stuff that works, you'd need to upgrade to 2.2-STABLE. If I were going to do that I'd use a boot floppy from releng22.freebsd.org. Good luck, Brian
