Hi using FreeBSD 6.2 stable would be a nice idea too. 1)no problem at all, I'm using a Core2Duo at my laptop 2)depends on ACPI in your bios 3)is possible with IWI driver http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=iwi&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+6.2-stable&format=html 4)this depends on your bios, but there is a module called acpi_sony and acpi_video in /boot/kernel http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=acpi_sony&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+6.2-stable&format=html Cheers, Oliver On Tue, Aug 28, 2007 at 07:34:42AM -0700, Shane Helms wrote: > Hi, > > I installed FreeBSD-6.2R several days ago soon to > realize that my sound card is not supported :-( > Now, I'd like to install FreeBSD-Current, but I > thought I'd send a quick email for hardware checking > before I jump into snapshots. > > Sadly, very little information about FreeBSD-7 can be > found on the net.
