I was getting my hope from XFree86: 1200x1024 APM: Fully working ACPI: Partially working PC-Card: Fully working Cardbus: Fully working But now I see that was for 5.0 (cardbus should have been the giveaway there) There is also some information about it at which I confess is a bit more than I fully understand at this point. Joshua Malone also mentioned that it worked for him http://www.ubergeeks.com/~jmalone/freebsdlaptops.html Perhaps I'll ask him more about it. Will post if I find out anything (unless this machine is too old for anyone else to care about?)
