I hacked the ASL for my ThinkPad T40p so that "FreeBSD" was treated as an equivalent to "Windows 2001". After your change, the Fn+F8 screen expansion toggle stopped working.
I've attached the acpidump output you requested. My local modification was to add after the check for "Windows 2001":
If (LEqual (\SCMP (\_OS, "FreeBSD"), Zero))
{
    Store (0x02, \WNTF)
}

The issue is that we don't support the _OSI method yet, otherwise we could advertise FreeBSD as being both Windows 2k and XP compatible. Your best workaround is to just unconditionally store 0x02 into \WNTF at the end of the \_SB._INI function. Since the custom AML will only be loaded by FreeBSD, you won't affect other OS's with this change.

Bob, any word on _OSI implementation?

Bob sent me an initial implementation for review today;-)

I'm uncomfortable, however, at claiming to be compatible with Windows, since I don't really have a definition of exactly what that means...

Doesn't matter to me. I plan on claiming to be everything from Win 2k onward and sort out the rest on the mailing list. :)

We already fixed some problems by claiming to be Win 2k for _OS.
