Hi, I'm trying to set up FreeBSD on a Sony Vaio PCG-Z600LEK. I've successfully installed 4.4 over the network, and X works fine, too. However, there are still some problems, and after reading many Web pages and mailing list messages on Vaios I'm fairly confused. It seems that there are a couple of issues for most Vaio models: 1. The PCGA-CD51/A PCMCIA-connected CD-ROM drive (system crashes when the drive is connected) 2. Power management (APM/ACPI) (system doesn't wake up again, unclear if/how suspend-to-disk works) 3. The Jog Dial 4. The Memory Stick reader I'm confused because some people report that everything worked out of the box, while others (including me) are having problems, and while these issues seem to have been discussed frequently I couldn't find any comprehensive information on what would be an optimal setup (FreeBSD version, kernel configuration, etc.) <http://www.funa.org/current/>; comes close, but seems to be outdated (2000-07-28)--but it reports all components of a Z505 as working. Have I overlooked something? Should it be obvious? Any pointers? If it doesn't exist yet, I would be more than willing to put together a document that describes what has to be done to set up FreeBSD for Vaios (given that the necessary information can be found).
