All,

Recently started trying to get freebsd 5.1+ to work on my laptop. With 5.1 and 
above, I've found that unless ACPI is disabled, I cant use any PS/2 mouse - 
external or the internal synaptics pad. Boot -v reveals that psm0 cannot grab 
an interrupt.

Boot logs are available here:

http://humphrey.dyndns.org/boot.acpi
http://humphrey.dyndns.org/boot.noacpi

I would just run without ACPI, but the machine is one of these "pesky built 
for XP" ACPI only machines, and I find that with no ACPI I cant use the built 
in nic...makes the machine kinda useless.

The machine has the latest BIOS as of yesterday. Current was 1-2 days old.

I could swear that this used to work with 5.0-current.

I've tried the device.hints workaround I saw mentioned to another person 
reporting a similar problem - assigning atkbd to acpi rather than isa, but 
this did not solve the problem.

Any suggestions?

Willing to try patches/hacking as directed.

Cheers,
Brendon
