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. -Archie ___________________________________________________________________________ Archie Cobbs * Whistle Communications, Inc. * http://www.whistle.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
