freebsd stable - Apr 2005 - ACPI suspend/resume

Hello list,
I have FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE on a Dell Latitude D505
My main problem is that acpiconf -s 3 reobots the machine and -s 1 keeps
it going only for a few hours, draining the battery. Has anyone found
any workaround for this ? I've seen the problem presented on several
mailing lists but couldn't find a proper resolution

Thanks

This is a known problem pertaining nearly all Dell Laptops. Nate Lawson
(njl@freebsd.org) probably knows *why* it's broken, but not how to fix
it.

I think he could fix it fairly fast, iff he got access to actual Dell
hardware. Anyone?
