Your laptop follows the spec just fine, but in this case as Joerg said the 
device is associated with a device in the PCI tree and NetBSD does not 
currently enumerate onboard devices this way. There are a few ways to hack 
around it (the method you and I used in acpi_display, or Joerg's 
suggestion for attaching to VGA), the question is which is the least hacky 
:)
