Usually the difficulity is either the PC-CARDs or the X server. FreeBSD only supports a few Ethernet PC-CARDs, although Xircom drivers are getting better. Also be sure that XFree86 supports the video "card" in the laptop. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
