> intel 3945 wireless > ati x1300 graphics I have the intel 3945 on my Sony laptop. Works for me with Damien Bergamini driver 20070121-wpi-freebsd.tar.gz and FreeBSD-6.2-RELEASE. There are a lot of error messages but it works nonetheless. However i suspect that it produces memory corruption in conjunction with the display card, which freezes from time to time when the 3945 is activated and i am running X. I have never seen a crash when the 3945 is shut down or i am running on console. The most recent driver by B. Close is 20070715-wpi-freebsd-7.0-current.tgz but it works only with FreeBSD-7 so i cannot test it. I have tested other B. Close drivers, none worked. As for the video, an Intel card is highly recommended, it works very well on laptops and is sufficiently powerful to run things like compiz. There are very good available video modes on console, contrary to many other models. -- Michel TALON
