>Description:
Finally got it all working on the Gateway solo 9500. FreeBSD 4.4 supports the TI PCI Bus and can reach the network card. No special configuration required. The USB Mouse (my own preference because I can't keep my hands off the touch pad, which can now be disabled in the BIOS) works by using moused_port="/dev/ums0" and moused_type="auto" in the rc.conf file. And XiG.com has provided ($) a graphics driver with version LX601 that makes full use of the ATI AGP4X video for the X-Server.
>How-To-Repeat:
Problem Solved!
>Fix:
FreeBSD 4.4, a little configuration, reported above, and a commercial graphic driver (LX601, with an update) from XiG.com got the Gateway solo 9500 working just fine with FreeBSD!
