The usual reply is "1. Check the hardware specs of the notebook. 2. Check the list of supported hardware of a) *BSD, b) XFree86, and c) whatsoever" mostly followed by a statement like "the driver for *** is in current development". It might be of help for the people who are asking for advice but in the long run it is somewhat disappointing for those watching what is going on. Additionally, twice a year, the manufactures put new models on the market. Thus, who could keep up? In my opinion it would be nice to have a list of "successful installations" telling who runs which *BSD and which applications on which brand and model of notebook and what he/she did to make it work. Although I am short of time and surely do lack some expertise I would volunteer for compiling and posting such a list on a regular basis if we could develop and agree on a form asking the relevant questions which the notebook owners simply could fill in. Any suggestions? -Bernd From owner-freebsd-mobile Sat Mar 30 12:23:18 1996 Return-Path: owner-mobile Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id MAA07900 for mobile-outgoing; Sat, 30 Mar 1996 12:23:18 -0800 (PST) Received: from phaeton.artisoft.com (phaeton.Artisoft.COM [198.17.250.211]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id MAA07858 Sat, 30 Mar 1996 12:23:08 -0800 (PST) Received: (from terry@localhost) by phaeton.artisoft.com (8.6.11/8.6.9) id NAA09593; Sat, 30 Mar 1996 13:19:58 -0700 From: Terry Lambert Message-Id: <199603302019.NAA09593@phaeton.artisoft.com> Subject: Re: list of supported notebooks To: br@netland.sub.de (Bernd Rosauer) Date: Sat, 30 Mar 1996 13:19:58 -0700 (MST) Cc: freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG, freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG, freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG In-Reply-To: <199603300713.IAA00371@stiller.netland.sub.de> from "Bernd Rosauer" at Mar 30, 96 08:13:42 am X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk > The usual reply is "1.

For instance, Nate Williams has working APM (power management) for suspend/resume. HOSOKAWA, Tatsumi has long been working on PCMCIA, and if you follow his announcements in the lists and the news groups, you know that the disk are available for download. There are five PCIC bridge chipsets, three of which are compatible, two of which are no longer used, and the third used by Epson or Olivetti (I forget which). There is support for the largest family of bridge chipsets, but not the others.
