The laptop boots winXP, linux, and 5.1-RELEASE just fine, but there are some devices missing when I boot into FreeBSD. The real irritating one is the lack of the glidepoint device, so I don't have an integrated mouse then. *** Glidepoint Mouse Has anybody else seen glidepoint devices disappearing on this kind of setup? Linux finds the mouse and gives me /dev/psaux to play with, but for the life of me I can't find out where it thinks the device lives - damn their dmesg output. Windows tells me that I have an 82801DBM LPC Interface controller, id 24CC, (which I presume is an ISA bus bridge) and hanging off of there there are typical ISA devices like the keyboard, printer port, and an "Alps Pointing Device", which must be the touchy-feely pad thing. It's attached to the PS/2 mouse port, or so it claims, and IRQ 12. How can I best go about convincing the 5.1 kernel that there is a device there? Can I force a scan of the ISA bus, looking for this device (well, reading the ISA PnP configuration entries would be swell, too)? [Remainder of message is about other devices found & not supported, speedstep, and other little things.] *** SD Card Reader This lappy, as well as my Toshiba Satellite 6100, come with an SD card reader. I don't suppose that's supported or will be supported in the near future. It's on IRQ 5, I/O 0x248-0x24f, FWIW. *** Wireless LAN The Intel PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI adaptor isn't recognized either - and earlier messages don't seem to be conclusive about whether it's supported or not. For example, http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/htdig/freebsd-mobile/2003-March/000007.html quotes an earlier message saying "It's a Prism 2.5", which leaves me wondering whether it's supported or not. *** Speedstep The speedstep support - in particular sysctl ..current_speed and economy_speed - seems to work. At least, pulling the plug & letting it go to battery, reducing the CPU speed, has a significant effect on things like md5 /usr/lib/* (not that that's a scientific test, mind you). -- Adriaan de Groot adridg@cs.kun.nl Kamer A6020 024-3652272 GPG Key Fingerprint 934E 31AA 80A7 723F 54F9 50ED 76AC EE01 FEA2 A3FE http://www.cs.kun.nl/~adridg/research/
