I've wrote a web page about installing FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE on SRX7, but sorry, I've wrote it in Japanese. Maybe you can find it by googling with "SRX7 FreeBSD". > Any info. would be greatly appreciated. OK. Here is an information. You can install FreeBSD by USB floppy disk drive. But it really takes a long time to read the USB floppy, so I prefer you to use CDROM drive. Before the kernel boot, you must set set hw.pcic.irq=0 set hw.pcic.intr_path=1 whether you use a PCCARD stuff or not. After the installer comes up, you can use fxp0 (built-in ethernet) or any other PCMCIA ethernet cards (such as ep0, ed0). XFree86-4.1.0 works perfectly on SRX7. To get X working, you must load "agp.ko" which is an AGP kernel module. This can be done automatically on boot by adding this line to /boot/loader.conf. agp_load="YES" Other devices are described in the following table. I've tested on 4.4-RELEASE and 5-current (cvsup'ed Jan 13th 2002). 4.4-RELEASE 5-current XFree86-4.1.0 OK OK fxp0 OK OK PCCARD OK OK *1 USB OK OK Sound OK OK Touchpad(psm0) OK OK *2 MemoryStick NG OK Jogdial OK *3 OK *3 Remaining Battery OK *4 OK *4 suspend/resume NG NG 802.11b(wi0) NG NG Bluetooth NG NG IEEE 1394 ? ? Winmodem ? ? *1: PCCARD works on -current when using OLDCARD. *2: Touchpad(psm0) won't work on -current while ACPI is enabled. *3: Jogdial works if you apply the "spic & moused patch". You can get the patch from http://csociety.org/~will/jogdial-current-2.diff http://csociety.org/~will/jogdial-stable-2.diff *4: You can get the remaining battery time by using "vaiobat" command included in /usr/ports/graphics/picturebook. On -current, you can get a detailed battery information from ACPI. Unfortunately, suspend/resume won't work on SRX7 now. ACPI support is required for recent laptops. But it is worth trying recent -current. I've not tested recent -current yet which is based on ACPI CA 20020214. You can get kernel config file, loader.conf and XF86Config from http://www.funa.org/~funa/diary/2002/01/13/FUNASOUL http://www.funa.org/~funa/diary/2002/01/13/loader.conf http://www.funa.org/~funa/diary/2002/01/13/XF86Config respectively. Please modify "FontPath" in XF86Config because my FontPath is quite different from general. Hope this helps. -- Akira Funahashi/[funa@funa.org] To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
