If its anything like the Satellite Pro 410CDT, you'll have very few problems.. I got freebsd up and running in a matter of a few minutes (all due to the null modem cable i was using to transfer freebsd across for the installation ;).. i've not had the chance to use any pcmcia cards on it, as i only used it for 24 hours or so, but, i *did* notice a few odd quirks, seems that the video card didn't like the way XFree86 switched back into graphics mode when one switches out of graphics mode via ctrl+alt+F# keys. The machine then proceeds to do a lavalamp-like screensaver instead of just going back to the XFree86 desktop as i'd left it..another oddity is that when you switch out of X, or kill it, either way, you get this quiet little constant beep from the sound system, no idea whats causing either of these quirks, but its fully usable otherwise, and I'll figure them out when i get the laptop back. -- Jonathan Towne jontow@massive.geek.edu/wrongway@slic.com Systems Administrator http://massive.geek.edu/ -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GU d- s: a--- C+++ UB++++ P L- E--- W--- N++ o K w--- O-- M V- PS PE Y-- PGP- t+ 5 X+ R+ tv- b+ DI+ D++ G e- h-- r-- y ------END GEEK CODE BLOCK------ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
