+ Joao Pedras <jpedras@webvolution.net>: | I need some feedback from people that may have bought recently DELL | laptops (Latitude, Inspiron) and run FreeBSD on them. Define recently. Last two weeks? 8-) Anyway, I got an I3500 last October, which ran 3.2R right out of the box. Lately I upgraded to 4.1R, and still no major problem (though I had to turn off the (unused) network devices in the boot config, or else the install kernel just crashed). Sound doesn't work, but I can play CDs using xcd. One minor problem: If there is a disk in the zip drive when I suspend the machine, I only get I/O errors when trying to access the drive later. Then on shutdown, syncing fails, and for some reason even the remaining file system are marked dirty. I assume this is a problem with the new afd driver. Before, with the zip drive on wfd, this never happened. - Harald To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
