Your laptop is running without APM or ACPI. You risk permanent heat damage.
  1. Ensure you have Acer's most recent BIOS. If not, update it.
  2. If you needed to update, see if the OS will boot with the updated BIOS and ACPI.
  3. If you are already on the latest BIOS, or if a test of ACPI with the most recent BIOS fails, then determine if you can enable APM from its management screens.
Should you decide to stay with OpenBSD on this hardware -- whether the ACPI/APM problem is resolved or not -- you will want to install Radeon firmware. See all of the error messages in the last 15 lines of your dmesg(8) output. Installation may be performed with fw_update(1) once you have established a functioning network connection.
