Has anyone got any experience of FBSD on one of these? Spec is one of the following: Aspire 1804WSMi Intel® Pentium® 540 processor (3.2GHz, 800MHz FSB), Microsoft® Windows® XP Home Edition, 512MB (2*256) DDR, 100GB HDD, DVD-SuperMulti, 17" WXGA Acer CrystalBrite TFT display, ATI MOBILITY RADEON X600 with 128MB of external DDR video, 56Kbps modem, 10/100/1000 LAN, Integrated wireless LAN (802.11b/g), Bluetooth™, Li-Ion battery, 5-in-1card reader, Microsoft® Works Aspire 1804WSMi Intel® Pentium® 540 processor (3.2GHz, 800MHz FSB), Microsoft® Windows® XP Media Centre Edition, 512MB (2*256) DDR, 100GB HDD, DVD-SuperMulti, 17" WXGA Acer CrystalBrite TFT display, ATI MOBILITY RADEON X600 with 128MB of external DDR video, 56Kbps modem, 10/100/1000 LAN, Integrated wireless LAN (802.11b/g), Bluetooth™, Li-Ion battery, 5-in-1card reader, TV Tuner, Remote Control I'm a bit worried about the screen being WXGA. Does Xorg support this? Things like the remote control(?), card reader, modem don't exactly worry me too much...
