Have given up on desktops, just connect to servers from laptop. Just upgraded from 3.4 to 4.0 everthing appears perfect (except backlighting doesn't switch off ;-). Many thanks to all the FreeBSD developers! I'd like a bigger screen but the 7000's too big/heavy and expensive (my boss has one). I know there have been lots of suggestions and here's one more The Inspiron 5000 - can get model with big screen 15" 1400 x 1050 and its lighter than the (heavy and ugly) 7000 series. Unofortunately it came out about 3 months after I bought my 3500 and dont actually know anyone with one. But provided X works with the ATI Rage Mobility it would appear be to be an excellent machine. tonym To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
