I have latitude CP also. I installed 2.2.6-RELEASE and then added the PAO patches from www.jp.freebsd.org/PAO, then I installed commercial X server from XiG (www.xig.com) and added their patches for Neomagic video driver. To get mouse working simply compile your kernel with PS/2 (/dev/psm0) mouse support. Right this laptop works perfect: it is doing X + netscape + some network analyzing with NFR = I just need more RAM, 48 is not that much. AFAIK, some people on this list built XFree86 to support Neomagic drivers. -- Yan Jan Koum www.best.com/~jkb jkb@best.com | "Turn up the lights; I don't want www.FreeBSD.org -- The Power to Serve | to go home in the dark."
