Normally I have X window and VMWare running Windows 98 under 4.1. I found it to be the most stable platform for running windows applications, even better than win2k. I have win2k and Linux 7.0 installed on the same machine and they all freeze on me from time to time. Here are some info on running FreeBSD 4.1 1) There is no X server support from the official XFree86 3.3.6 or 4.1 release. You have to get the S3 Savage server from http://www.probo.com/timr/savagemx.html It still has some problems. But if you don't do DGA, switching virtual terminals, or suspend the machine, it generally runs fine. 2) Sound card is not supported. It's an Intel AC97 Audio Controller (vendor=0x8086, dev=0x7195). Toshiba says its a YAMAHA YMF752. 3) Modem is an AT&T LT Winmodem 56k (vendor=0x11c1, dev=0x0441) No support for it. 4) Toshiba FIR Port Type-DO (vendor=0x1179, dev=0x0d01) is also not recognized. 5) PCCARD support runs great. Various PCCARD ide disks, compact flash memory, ethernet card all work well on 3440ct. You do have to tweak /etc/pccard.conf file from time to time. No CardBus support yet. 6) USB support works quite well. Tried USB mouse and D-LINK ethernet adapter. 7) Suspend/resume the machine works well, provided you don;t do it w/ X window running, and therefore quite useless. I am not sure how to do hibernation or if it does it at all. The 3440 BIOS seems to support restoring from a raw hibernation partition (type 84). I found this out accidentally by creating a partition with type set to 84. However I dont know how to get it to hibernate under FreeBSD. Would appreciate the information from anyone.
