In very recent current, usb seems dead, but I think it's a temporary failure. Generally, everything works ok except suspend to RAM - due to the lacks of acpi_video support, my laptop resumes well but lid display becomes dead, and all I can do is to ssh on laptop remotely and reboot it. If suspend is not critical for you, VAIO is suitable laptop for freebsd, IMHO. At least pcg-v505 series :) You can see my current dmesg: http://62.89.204.61/vaio_dmesg.txt -- Anton A.
