Also, I suppose that the new mobo could have a different BIOS to the old one and now has an option to switch off the optical device.
Are the BIOS versions of the old and new mobo's the same?
If the 'new' mobo has an old BIOS perhaps you need to upgrade it.

ACPIVGA(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual ACPIVGA(4)
NAME
acpivga -- ACPI Display Adapter and Output Devices
SYNOPSIS
acpivga* at acpi?
acpiout* at acpivga?
DESCRIPTION
The acpivga driver provides generic support for brightness control and output switching, through ACPI video extensions. The ACPI specifica-
tion requires that systems containing a built-in display adapter implement these extensions in their ACPI BIOS.
The driver handles brightness hotkeys and display switch hotkeys. In addition, the following sysctl(8) read/write variables are provided
(when hardware support is available):
hw.acpi.acpivga0.bios_switch
BIOS output switching policy. This boolean variable controls the behavior of the BIOS when a display switch hotkey is pressed.
1 the BIOS should automatically switch outputs, with no interaction from acpivga.
0 the BIOS should only notify acpivga of the desired output state changes.
hw.acpi.acpiout0.brightness
Brightness level. This integer variable typically ranges from 0 to 100, but any integer value is accepted (the driver uses the clos-
est brightness level supported by the device).
Please note, however, that future versions of acpivga may remove these sysctl(8) variables without prior notice.

HISTORY
The acpivga driver appeared in NetBSD 6.0.
AUTHORS
Gregoire Sutre <gsutre@NetBSD.org>
CAVEATS
The acpivga driver only supports PCI/PCI-X/PCI-E display adapters.
Many ACPI BIOSes implement only part of the ACPI video extensions. In particular, display output switching via these extensions often does
not work. For this reason, acpivga enables hw.acpi.acpivga0.bios_switch by default. If the display switch hotkey does not work with this
default setting, try setting hw.acpi.acpivga0.bios_switch to 0.
Brightness level should be controlled via wsconsctl(8) instead of sysctl(8).
