Success with this machine overall. The interaction of apm, pcm audio, and usb is the trickiest part. I could detail the trials to anyone who cares, but the bottom line is this: XFree86-4 works at 1024x768. Mouse works. Built-in ethernet works (fxp, and nicely as a module). Apm works, including suspend to disk (with appropriate phdisk preparation). USB works. Audio works, but I do a kldunload snd_csa and reload it in /etc/rc.resume. They all work together if you go into the bios config->power->pci power management and set it to "disable", AND use the kernel module versions of audio and usb. I haven't tried pccard yet. There are a lot of oddities regarding the interaction of usb, apm, and audio, and module vs kernel config and pci power management on or off. Some combinations crash the machine on boot, some result in usb or audio not working, etc. I tried twiddling other settings, too, like USB BIOS (a BIOS setting). I can detail cases I tried and test other cases for anyone who is interested. Feel free to email me if particular details of the above interest you.
