Heheh if you get one which supposedly has an AC97 Audio Chip and hangs whenever you try kldloading pcm, ich3 or when you recompile the kernel with pcm, you'd do me a very VERY great favour, since I've tried nearly everything (all the modules, removing an undetected modem, you name it). BTW, I found once a patch for buggy keyboards (like my laptop's) but I can't find it anymore. If anyone knows about it, could you please tell me? BTW, nothing works in FreeBSD 5.x, it won't even boot the installer... Oh... and newer toshiba laptops feature a windoze-only-and-required bios P.O.S. configurator Thanx a lot Alejandro "Lanjoe9" Valenzuela > Send freebsd-mobile mailing list submissions to > freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-mobile > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' > to > freebsd-mobile-request@freebsd.org > > You can reach the person managing the list at > freebsd-mobile-owner@freebsd.org > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more > specific than "Re: Contents of freebsd-mobile digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
