It's an Acer Aspire 1500.
There are no BIOS upgrades i know of.
It does not show S1 in hw.acpi.supported_sleep_state, but i think it should
be able to do it. S3 and S4 are shown but make it hang.

acpiconf -s1:
acpi0: AcpiGetSleepTypeData failes - AE_NOT_FOUND

other than that no warnings.

which i guess just says the same as S1 not being in hw.acpi.supported_sleep_state

I fixed (as good as i knew to) my dsdt and load the fixed in loader.conf but
it didn't help. I tried the new intel code as next step. Now i'm looking
at the code. Maybe try fbsd 5.1 as some say they had acer hw working (sos@ e.g.).
Also it seems like the ACPI debugging infrastructure is not complete.
The one thing i found interesting was that acpidump -t only shows comments.

What i was really looking after though was being able to manipulate the
CPU speed (like i can in linux).

My via epia (another machine) e.g. shows:
hw.acpi.cpu.max_speed: 2
hw.acpi.cpu.current_speed: 2
hw.acpi.cpu.performance_speed: 2
hw.acpi.cpu.economy_speed: 1

So i guess some infrastructure for that is already available.
