	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.
