I bought it with the Geforce 2 because XFree86 explicititely said that it worked with their 4.2. But I understand that there are FreeBSD specific issues, ie. it doesn't work. My screen starts up but turns into a psychedelic mixture of colors. I checked back thru the questions, mobile, multimedia, and harware list archives and I came up with two web pages that might have a solution. The first was nvidia.netexplore.org. They have a patch that works with an Nvidia linux driver that unfortunately is no longer on the Nvidia page. The second is www.marcuscom.com which has a patch to our nv server port. I'm just wondering what the latest info is as all of what I've seen looks pretty old. I'm going to try the patch agains the server today, though. BTW, this laptop kicks ass! Kernel builds and port builds go faster than my 1200Mhz DDR main system. Very nice.
