What model Toshiba laptop are you using?

I'm curious as I have a Toshiba Satellite A60 that works quite nicely=20
with FreeBSD 5.2.1, 5.3, and 6-CURRENT (with the exception of the=20
WinModem and soundcard not working, and the ATA controllers only being=20
recognised as UDMA33).  The NIC works, the wireless NIC works, the CPU=20
throttling works, the video card works perfectly in 2D and provides=20
software 3D support (there's no AGP module for the ATI Radeon 7000 IGP=20
chipset).  Even the USB 2.0 ports work.

5.2-CURRENT had working sleep/resume support, but then it disappeared=20
one day, and I was never able to track down if it was a BIOS update,=20
ACPI update, or driver update that killed it.  Not that it bothers me,=20
I prefer to power it off completely anyway.
