I have the 14" display, at (I think) 1024x768.. it's a fixed resolution,
of course (you can check the specs for this laptop and it probably says
for sure what the resolution is).

Also forgot to mention that the PCI sound chip is not currently
supported by FreeBSD yet, so that's a downside.

I use X3.3.2. You need a special line added to XF86Config for it
to work.. I'm pretty sure this bug is fixed in X3.3.3.
