I just got this laptop, so I havent had much time to play with it (since I am here at BSDcon), but so far I run FreeBSD 4.1.1-STABLE and it alls works _except_ X and sound :-) It seems I need XFree86 from CVS, but that doesnt compile... Well I guess I will soon find the time to dig in to it. -- Anders Andersson anders@sanyusan.se Sanyusan International AB http://www.sanyusan.se/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
