Hello, i have been using freebsd since i was around 10 -- i really love the OS and prefer it to everything else as i grew up on it -- i am writing concerning how robust the support is for the new macbook -- i was helping to develop ppc freebsd and know some of the new issues with the macintosh hardware -- now with the new northbridge a lot of the hardware has been rearranged in terms of controllers -- i was curious about the acpi concern -- as well as the fact 5 separate usb devices register for keyboards -- i assume that this is the bluetooth device searching for and making a device for a non existent component -- the mouse too does not work -- when clicked it simply drags to the bottom right -- perhaps at the loader prompt hint.pcib.1.skipslot=26 or some such to avoid the bluetooth -- any comments or questions are welcomed i'm just curious and want to get some more talk about these new machines -- the are very well engineered and have all the right components to run a really nice freebsd system -- ___ -jt
