It seems that this is not yet supported. This article (in the Japanese nomad mailing list archive) seems to indicate that that 16-color VGA server works with XFree86. I haven't tried that yet: http://www.clave.gr.jp/ml/bsd-nomads/200010/msg00209.html It also says that you can mount the memory stick as an msdos file system on /dev/da0s1, but gives a kernel patch for a SCSI quirk entry (which may already be in 4.2-RELEASE). And here are some "unknown devices" I looked up: pci0: (vendor=0x104c, dev=0x8021) at 8.0 Texas Instruments (probably firewire) pci0: (vendor=0x1279, dev=0x0396) at 0.1 Transmeta ? pci0: (vendor=0x1279, dev=0x0397) at 0.2 Transmeta ? pci0: (vendor=0x136b, dev=0xff01) at 11.0 Kawasaki Steel Corp. ? pci0: (vendor=0x14f1, dev=0x1036) at 10.0 irq 9 Conexant Systems, Inc winmodem There is a built-in camera and a jog wheel, so I am guessing one of these is the 0x136b,0xff01 entry above. I haven't been able to get "zzz" to work. That feature sure was nice on my libretto. I would surely miss it if I can't get that to work. I'd be happy to hear of any other discoveries about this machine...
