BUT ... if you are willing to change to linux (you seemed to have mentioned Linux in the subject) or just want info on the 2060CDS (or pretty much any laptop), go directly to this page --> http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/kharker/linux-laptop/ (laptops in general) -----> http://www.oopdreams.com/toshiba_2060cds/ (2060CDS) do not pass go, do not collect $200. Make sure to read the WHOLE section on X, they mention having the same problem but tell how to fix or temporarily work around it. Because this was mainly an XFree problem I am betting that it would work under BSD but I wanted sound and all the bells and whistles! I was not a linux fan (addmittedly I would use OpenBSD or FreeBSD if either of them supported my sound card and the creative web cam go) but this page made my day. I'm using Slackware, primarly because it is supported (somehow) by the FreeBSD project and also is a BSD derivitive. One problem I had with Slackware was the pcmcia card ... but as soon as I got into the bios of my laptop (which I had never known how to do before I found this page) and changed it to pcic compatible ... perfect!! apm works perfect ... including suspend, resume and powerdown. Oh yeah, the internal modem works aswell! The only thing I regret is maybe having to pull the 'powered by freebsd' sticker off the windows logo ... or maybe I'll just leave it ;) Sarton To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
