Athlon 4 1GHz, 256MB, 20GB, DVD-CDRW, 3Com mini-PCI NIC/Modem, 15" XGA TFT, Polk Audio Snd. for 2,099. The good news: I have installed current and have already burned a current release with the DVD-CDRW with mkisofs and burncd. Speed - I won't even try to compare the AthlonIV processor to my old laptop K-6-2 300Mhz:-) The challenges/opportunities: The doesn't want to work and my old DLink 660 saved the day. Should the miniPCI/modem work? Does anyone have experience with it? It shows up as dc0 but somewhere I saw that it thinks it is a 3com90X but doesn't seem to like the xl driver either. I also have a problem with the scratch pad. I am getting atkbd0 and the mouse recognized as I am used to seeing then I get an atkbd1 and kbd1 being recognized that I think may be why my mouse doesn't work. I seem to remember a post about that and searched the archives and didn't come up with anything.:-( Haven't started sound or xfree86 yet (trident CBXP?). pcm0 isn't even recognized. Anyone had experience with polk audio? If anyone has any information/suggestions/success stories for the Accton EN2242, the trident CBXP, the polk audio system or even the keyboard being recognized as twice. It would be appreciated. thanks, ed ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn and relearn. --Alvin Toffler To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
