I just have a few issues I'm trying to work out and not having much luck with. 1) moused with jogdial doesn't seem to want to map the buttons. I tried doing a -m 1=3D3 (so that I don't have to do 1+2 for 3 with the touchpad) but it doesn't seem to have any effect in X, it just makes the button stop working all together. 2) APM isn't working right. dmesg shows that apm was detected, and I can do an apm -e 1 to make it say 'APM Management: Enabled', but none of the values ever show anything useful. It always says it's on AC power and everything else is unknown. I figure this one is an APM/ACPI issue. I know most people say to disable ACPI, and I tried that with my old GR300. However after doing that, it would often refuse to power on at all. Other people in a VAIO help forum said to leave ACPI on to fix it. 3) Is it possible to change X layouts on the fly? I have two layouts specified, one for dual head and one with just LCD. It would be nice to be able to change the layout without exiting X. That's about it. On the whole, I'm very happy with FreeBSD on my laptop. I know I probably can't get audio on this model, but that's not a big deal for me. I am somewhat interested in finding out what else I can do with the spic driver though. MAKEDEV doesn't seem to have an option to create a spic interface, just the jogdial, but I might be missing something. I was led to believe there would be an ioctl interface to it as well for controlling other functions, like the LCD brightness. --=20 Chip Marshall <chip@chocobo.cx> http://www.chocobo.cx/chip/ GCM/CS d+(-) s+:++ a20>?
