Sadly, I bought this machine before I was thinking about running FreeBSD on a laptop. In any case, I can't find any drivers that get the Savage IX w/MV working with X. I've tried all the reasonable sounding drivers that were included, and so far all I get is a message that tells me something like, "it seems the x-setup failed, would you like to try again". A check with (sorry) RedHat 7.3 on the machine shows it thinks the video card is a S3 86C270-294 IX-MV (rev 11), in case that helps. (Red Hat chokes on the Cisco PCM340 Card in the laptop. There is no joy in mudville. While I'd rather have FreeBSD working on the machine, my main goal is to get Microsoft OFF the machine.) I'd appreciate any pointers, tips, or answers you can share. I've been rt'ing the fm, and cursing google until my eyes cross.... so far, no joy.
