I'm running RELENG_6. - suspend/resume - suspend works, resume doesn't, leads to push the power button to reboot. - bge0: mem 0xdfcf0000-0xdfcfffff irq 18 at device 0.0 on pci9 bge0: firmware handshake timed out miibus0: on bge0 brgphy0: on miibus0 I think I'm using Pyun's patch here. - audio - works with recent ariff's sound/snd_hda binary driver for RELENG_6 (recording is not working, probably I have to check latest driver) - agp0@pci0:2:0: class=0x030000 card=0x01c21028 chip=0x27a28086 rev=0x03 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Intel Corporation' class = display subclass = VGA I'm using here mnag@FreeBSD.org/anholt@FreeBSD.org's 945GM support agp patch and latest xorg-server-6.9.0_5. I also use 915resoluton to set the resolution to 1280x800. mplayer -vo xv can play in full screen. - mouse - works in X with moused started before starting X. - Onboard wireless doesn't work, no driver. I'm using orinoco gold a/b/g combo pcmcia card. none2@pci12:0:0: class=0x028000 card=0x00071028 chip=0x431214e4 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Broadcom Corporation' device = 'BCM4310 UART' class = network thanks, Ganbold
