I'm still settling into it and getting used to the quirks of FreeBSD on a laptop. On the whole, things are working delightfully. My Netgear WG511T works perfectly under if_ath, and sound came up painlessly with snd_pcm and snd_csa. On board Ethernet is fxp and workes perfectly; used it for the FTP install. On the other hand, X and ACPI don't seem to get along very well. If I boot with ACPI, X will sometimes hang when starting or stopping. Doesn't appear to be very consistent or predictable, but I can't get through more than 1 clean start and stop of X without it locking the machine up solid. Have to pull the battery and AC power to reset it. It's definitely an ACPI interaction because if I boot without ACPI I can start and stop X all day without issue. It's not that I go in and out of X often, but the occassional hang on start and the fairly reliable hang at exit have me fsck'ing the drive a bit more often than I'd like. I know ACPI is still a work in progress, but I was wondering if any other T-series ThinkPad users have seen something like this? -Snow
