The MWave modem doesn't work; there's no XFree86 driver for the 1024x768 LCD (the chip, a Trident Cyber 9386, isn't listed); suspend/resume and hibernation seem to be completely unusable. (What's the point of having a laptop if you have to reboot every time you want to use it?) Has anyone successfully conquered these problems? You might want to post this on the `mobile' list. Have you tried the PAO stuff? http://www.jp.freebsd.org/PAO/ They have a `Laptop Survey' and FAQ that you may find interesting. -- Regards, Norman C. Rice, Jr.
