True, but I think that might get fixed sometime. Someone already did a driver for the jog dial in -current, and I believe various other functions are on the same chip. > 2. Suspend - same thing Suspend to disk, yes. Zzz works fine. > 3. LCD / Monitor selection - same thing. True again, but you can use an external monitor by having it connected when you boot, which is fine for my needs. Another flaw is the Windows-only modem. Several things surprised me by just working - X, USB mouse, the USB floppy (looks like a SCSI disk) and a wireless ethernet PC card. I'd like to be able to disable the touch pad when I have a mouse attached - anyone know how to do that? -- Richard To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
