What model Toshiba laptop are you using? I'm curious as I have a Toshiba Satellite A60 that works quite nicely with FreeBSD 5.2.1, 5.3, and 6-CURRENT (with the exception of the WinModem and soundcard not working, and the ATA controllers only being recognised as UDMA33). The NIC works, the wireless NIC works, the CPU throttling works, the video card works perfectly in 2D and provides software 3D support (there's no AGP module for the ATI Radeon 7000 IGP chipset). Even the USB 2.0 ports work. 5.2-CURRENT had working sleep/resume support, but then it disappeared one day, and I was never able to track down if it was a BIOS update, ACPI update, or driver update that killed it. Not that it bothers me, I prefer to power it off completely anyway. -- Freddie Cash, CCNT CCLP Helpdesk / Network Support Tech. School District 73 (250) 377-HELP [377-4357] fcash-ml@sd73.bc.ca
