Here are some web pages to look at.

   http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/laptop/index.html

   http://laptop.bsdgroup.de/freebsd/

   http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-mobile

   http://tuxmobil.org/mobile_bsd.html

In addition, the RELEASE notes section for each release of FreeBSD
contains pages or hardware compatibility notes.   Just look for the
RELEASE and then the hardware compatibility links.
