While I did not install it, only came to sysinstall, it works - even with ACPI loaded, which was my primary question. So after I build new 5.5-soon-to-be-RELEASE working partition, I can wipe currently used 5.4-STABLE, couple of months old one and put 6.1 there to test. > Loading the kbdmux module may or may not be helpful--I didn't end up > needing it. > While I consider using loading kbdmux extremely useful, it did not work as an alternative for your installing method.

I would like to put all information regarding TC1000 to my web log at www.dino.sk, so others could benefit from my observations as well. Regards, Milan N. B. No need to CC me, I read this list regularly.
