What model Toshiba laptop are you using? I'm curious as I have a Toshiba Satellite A60 that works quite nicely=20 with FreeBSD 5.2.1, 5.3, and 6-CURRENT (with the exception of the=20 WinModem and soundcard not working, and the ATA controllers only being=20 recognised as UDMA33). The NIC works, the wireless NIC works, the CPU=20 throttling works, the video card works perfectly in 2D and provides=20 software 3D support (there's no AGP module for the ATI Radeon 7000 IGP=20 chipset). Even the USB 2.0 ports work. 5.2-CURRENT had working sleep/resume support, but then it disappeared=20 one day, and I was never able to track down if it was a BIOS update,=20 ACPI update, or driver update that killed it. Not that it bothers me,=20 I prefer to power it off completely anyway. =2D-=20 =46reddie Cash, CCNT CCLP Helpdesk / Network Support Tech.
