I'm not counting 'sound doesn't > work' or 'modem doens't work' as least supported for these purposes. My IBM Thinkpad R32 works fine under FreeBSD/5.2-beta. I paid $950 for it new on ebay. Only thing that doesn't seem to work (or maybe I just haven't figured it out yet) is suspend & resume. Closing the lid brings this message: acpi0: Sleep state S1 not supported by BIOS Also, if I don't do a cold boot from WinXP into FreeBSD, once I start X the machine will hang and I need to remove the battery. If I do a cold boot, it works fine (Had the same symptoms with both OpenBSD -current and Debian Linux unstable) I have not tried USB support with it however, so I can't speak to how that works. Audio works fine, and my old-school Wavelan card works great. So I'd say that's a sub-$1k notebook that works well with FreeBSD. laptop:~> uname -a FreeBSD laptop.freek 5.2-BETA FreeBSD 5.2-BETA #0: Sat Dec 6 23:15:20 EST 2003 dorqus@laptop.freek:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/LAPTOP i386 -- josh
