My initial impressions with the Toshiba Satellite 1800-S253 are mixed.
The overall fit-and-finish of the hardware is nice,
the keyboard fits well, and the 14.1 inch TFT display is bright.
While FreeBSD (4.3-R) works mostly
(it boots quickly & the internal Ethernet port is configured),
the downsides are significant:
(1) APM suspends fail upon resume.
(2) XFree86-4.1.0 appears to hang the console before it leaves
text mode in the calling virtual console.
I would be quite interested in keeping this notebook,
if I were able to get APM suspend/resume and X to work reliably.
Pointers, hints, and/or suggestions that might lead me to solutions
to these show-stoppers will be greatly appreciated.
