Format Demangled 1) Your mailer sent your entire email on one line. Please configure it to wrap at 70 columns or so if you are going to post to this list. 2) It would be pretty tough for anyone to tell you where to find drivers for various hardware without knowing what that hardware is. Granted, some kind soul here might have those laptops and run FreeBSD on them, but chances are a lot of people are going to ignore your post because it doesn't have a subject. I don't have the time to track down what hardware is in those models of laptop and then chase drivers. If I knew what hardware was in them, I'd be more inclined to check the Hardware Compatability List and google for stuff.
