I'm currently using the Dell Inspiron 3000 with FreeBSD v2.2.5. It has the NeoMagic chip set so I went ahead and purchased Xaccel from Xinside and that works great. Standard PCCard support works (I had some problems getting it going but it was probably user error) APM bios works well with FreeBSD APM support and suspends/resumes very well (via commands or by closing the lid.) I keep it in suspend to RAM because the battery lasts so damn long (esp when you have the second one in) that I didn't want to give up the HD space ;) All in all I'm really happy with the system. I only have one more bug to work out which is the PCCArd chip wanting the lowest free IRQ and then not conflicting with a card I put in (I temporarily have that fixed by turning off COM1 and so the card I put in takes COM1 and Int 4.) -Sean To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
