You know, this really isn't a -stable question.

If you go read the mailing list archives for freebsd-mobile in, say, the
last few days, you'll see all that's currently known on the subject of 
getting FreeBSD to work on a T20 or any of recent siblings.  You can 
start with this message, which kicked off the whole thing:

<3A23C3D2.E8C59D1E@servicefactory.se>

As I read it, some people have had success and others haven't.  It's 
difficult to figure out what the problem is, since there are so many 
variables involved and the messages in the thread don't always have the 
details needed to fully analyze the problem.

As a hint to reading the thread, remember that "latest IBM ThinkPads"
doesn't necessarily imply "T20".  People have had different experiences
with the T20, T21, A20, and so on.

Bruce.
