Hi!

I am trying to choose a free *nix to run on this laptop, and, after asking 
pretty much the same questions on the linux-thinkpad list, I would like to 
know if there are any known issues concerning running FreeBSD on this 
machine (besides the necessary BIOS update).

For example:

- Can I run the console at 100 cols x 37 rows @ 800x600 on a 12.1" screen? I 
read in the archives that the (old) 800x600 VESA 1.2 mode didn't result in 
100x37 chars on laptops... Has this changed?

- Does the Intel combo-card work correctly, both the Ethernet transceiver 
and the 56k modem?

- Does APM work?

-Does USB work?

Thank you!

Bye,

Joane
