I was trying to do the same thing recently, and finally got it to work fairly well. I have a T42P, with the 1600x1200 LCD. Eventually what I came up with was using the MergedFB feature in X.org, along with the xrandr tool. Here are relevant bits from xorg.conf: Section "Device" Option MergedFB "true" Option "MonitorLayout" "LVDS, CRT" Option "MetaModes" "1600x1200-1600x1200 1600x1200" Option "CRT2Postion" "LeftOf" Identifier "Card0" Driver "ati" VendorName "ATI Technologies Inc" BoardName "Unknown Board" BusID "PCI:1:0:0" EndSection Here's the output of xrandr with the machine disconnected to the 2nd monitor: SZ: Pixels Physical Refresh 0 3200 x 1200 ( 813mm x 305mm ) 0 *1 1600 x 1200 ( 813mm x 305mm ) *0 Current rotation - normal Current reflection - none Rotations possible - normal Reflections possible - none With this config in place, I'm able to activate or deactivate the 2nd panel at will, using the xrandr command. I'm really quite impressed with the RANDR extension and its capabilities. Good luck!

I've got a Dell Latitude D820 with a builtin intel 3945 a/b/g card (that does not work with the unsupported driver that's floating around). I've been using it with a generic ATH based card: http://www.netgate.com/product_info.php?products_id=130 But, I'm getting lots of odd behavior including random panics. I strongly suspect that something is wrong with the card as the panics _never_ happen unless the card is in use. So, what cards are people using and willing to recommend?

I own a Toshiba Satellite A110. I was wondering if Freebsd would install on it without any problems, or if it would be hell getting everything to work. I've tried Ubuntu Linux and everything works (if it didn't, there were drivers to make it work), but I found this version (along with a bunch of others) quite unimpressive. FreeBSD seems a lot more stable ans secure, so I hope it will install on my laptop without me having to spend too much time tweeking everything.

You have tried the driver at http://people.freebsd.org/~flz/local/wpi/ I presume? With that driver, and ACPI disabled[1], I'm using a 3945 in an Acer laptop[2] with DHCP and WPA. YMMV, but it works for me. 1) For some reason (probably related to ACPI / bios) the driver fails to attach when acpi is enabled. 2) see http://tingox.googlepages.com/aceraspireas5672andfreebsd HTH -- Regards, Torfinn Ingolfsen, Norway From owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG Sat Dec 9 22:23:06 2006 Return-Path: X-Original-To: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org Delivered-To: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [69.147.83.52]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id B559216A403 for ; Sat, 9 Dec 2006 22:23:06 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from parv@pair.com) Received: from mta11.adelphia.net (mta11.adelphia.net [68.168.78.205]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id E5E6843CA6 for ; Sat, 9 Dec 2006 22:21:59 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from parv@pair.com) Received: from default.chvlva.adelphia.net ([69.160.66.115]) by mta11.adelphia.net (InterMail vM.6.01.05.02 201-2131-123-102-20050715) with ESMTP id <20061209222305.IWUS2497.mta11.adelphia.net@default.chvlva.adelphia.net>; Sat, 9 Dec 2006 17:23:05 -0500 Received: by default.chvlva.adelphia.net (Postfix, from userid 1000) id 6DD12B582; Sat, 9 Dec 2006 17:23:16 -0500 (EST) Date: Sat, 9 Dec 2006 17:23:16 -0500 From: Parv To: Torfinn Ingolfsen Message-ID: <20061209222316.GA4545@holestein.holy.cow> Mail-Followup-To: Torfinn Ingolfsen , freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org References: <926742.10296.qm@web38012.mail.mud.yahoo.com> <20061209034704.GB6088@holestein.holy.cow> <20061209150511.16bb3a34.torfinn.ingolfsen@broadpark.no> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline In-Reply-To: <20061209150511.16bb3a34.torfinn.ingolfsen@broadpark.no> Cc: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Toshiba Satellite A110 X-BeenThere: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Mobile computing with FreeBSD List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sat, 09 Dec 2006 22:23:06 -0000 in message <20061209150511.16bb3a34.torfinn.ingolfsen@broadpark.no>, wrote Torfinn Ingolfsen thusly... > > On Fri, 08 Dec 2006 22:47:04 -0500 > Parv wrote: > > > installed FreeBSD on it yet because ...)

This is an xscale cpu. There's support for the CPU and assocaited compoents in NetBSD. 4 different evaluation boards in NetBSD/evbarm. There doesn't appaer to be anything specific for the MobilePro 900 however. Earlier MobilePro models are supported by NetBSD/hpcmips. FreeBSD has support for this processor as well. However, it isn't as well integrated into FreeBSD as it is in NetBSD. There are some missing files that should just port over w/o much of a hassle. There's some work in this regard in p4 right now to support the 'Gumstick' which also is has the PXA250. If you are lucky, you can use the video drivers from the NetBSD/hpcmips support for earlier versions in the family. I've run NetBSD/hpcmips on a MobilePro 770, 780 and 790 and these are nice little machines. Warner
