Good idea. The problem with such an approach is, that new laptops get only inserted into man pages when some maintainer/approver does so and seldom if someone brings a new device to working (more or less) with FreeBSD. In the past (some 15 years ago) there was a database and a web frotnend where people (everyone) could insert/update a new working device. It was here: http://laptop.bsdgroup.de/freebsd/ but the site is offline for many year. I even tried and contacted the provide of 'bsdgroup.de' to get a copy of the database, w/o any luck. matthias -- Matthias Apitz, ✉ guru@unixarea.de, ⌂ http://www.unixarea.de/ ☎ +49-176-38902045 Einheitsfeier?
