FYI, Here are some of my notes on the Picturebook I just bought:

I was able to install 4.2-RELEASE via my DLink DE-660 pccard with:

	iomem 0xd4000

The graphics card is an "ATI model 4c52" which is listed as:

	Rage P/M Mobility PCI

I had no real luck with XFree86 so I then tried the XIG Accelerated 
X demo and exchanged mail with someone at xig graphics. It seems that 
this is not yet supported.

This article (in the Japanese nomad mailing list archive) seems to
indicate that that 16-color VGA server works with XFree86. I haven't
tried that yet:

	http://www.clave.gr.jp/ml/bsd-nomads/200010/msg00209.html

It also says that you can mount the memory stick as an msdos file
system on /dev/da0s1, but gives a kernel patch for a SCSI quirk entry
(which may already be in 4.2-RELEASE).

And here are some "unknown devices" I looked up:

	pci0: <unknown card> (vendor=0x104c, dev=0x8021) at 8.0

		Texas Instruments	(probably firewire)

	pci0: <unknown card> (vendor=0x1279, dev=0x0396) at 0.1

		Transmeta		?

	pci0: <unknown card> (vendor=0x1279, dev=0x0397) at 0.2

		Transmeta		?

	pci0: <unknown card> (vendor=0x136b, dev=0xff01) at 11.0

		Kawasaki Steel Corp.	?

	pci0: <unknown card> (vendor=0x14f1, dev=0x1036) at 10.0 irq 9

		Conexant Systems, Inc	winmodem	


There is a built-in camera and a jog wheel, so I am guessing one of
these is the 0x136b,0xff01 entry above.

I haven't been able to get "zzz" to work. That feature sure was nice 
on my libretto. I would surely miss it if I can't get that to work.

I'd be happy to hear of any other discoveries about this machine...

Jason
