Hi everyone=2C let me start of describing the situation =3B)
As for 7.0-STABLE release=2C I wasnt able to even boot=2C not even setting =
various parameters at boot time.
Once I got it to boot=2C it installed=2C then panicked all over.
So I waited to a recent snapshot and it booted=2C installed=2C and worked=
=2C well=2C partially.
ACPI/APM Are both not working compleately.
Also=2C this Machine has a Turion 64X2 processor wich I'm using with i386 v=
ersion since it has an nvidia card inside. I've followed some links and saw=
 that there was a known idle_cpu patch because of the lack of performance=
=2C what I don't actually know=2C is if that patch is allready included in =
7.0-STABLE-200807 snapshot=2C can someone confirm this?

Also=2C seems like ndis/ndisgen is broken with Broadcom adapter now=2C it's=
 the troublesome BCM43/B43/Dell Mini PCI-CARD 1390=2C is there any plan on =
something like the weird Linux module for it to become native on FreeBSD? O=
r is there some other BSD that supports it where I can look and try to expo=
rt the driver to FreeBSD?

Well=2C apart from that=2C my laptop has a lack of performance compared to =
Debian (wich is the distro wich I've been using for the last 4 years fullti=
me) wich I don't feel on my desktop where 7.0 release outblazes Debian for =
a good trunk (Running on a Intel Pentium Dual Core clocked at 3.66ghz each =
core) even Debian behing tunned up from filesystem=2C to kernel=2C from the=
 out-of-the-box-state.

Anyone else having the same laptop that can give me a hint on this?=20
Also=2C for powersaving=2C the laptop display (trying to use xsetbacklight)=
 responds like if the display could not be brighted down (in fBSD) with the=
 misterious Output "No Outputs have backlight option" wich i've researched =
and seen Ubuntu users with the same problem over nvidia GeForce Go! 6150 ca=
rds.
Appart from that=2C running freeBSD the disk seems to have problems spunnin=
g and there=B4s a weird noise that I beleave comes from the hard drive like=
 if it wasnt behing recognized properly or dealt with properly.
The disk status is correct=2C no failures detected whatsoever=2C also this =
seems to not be affecting the laptop when the power cord is not present.

Any help or contribution is very appreciated.
Thanks in advice.
Anibal.
