ACPI (not) interfacing w/ laptop

I don't think that the ACPI can / is interfacing with my bios properly. On every "event", like closing the laptop for example, generates

"ecgpe-0131 [05] ec_gpe_handler : Unable to send 'query command'
to EC"

Does this mean i should just stick with APM? Is there something i can do to help figure out how to make it work?

thanks,
Brenden
