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 _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
