I'm typing this on a Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo D 1840W running FreeBSD 5.3. 

Everything 'Just Worked', the only part of the X config I needed to do
manually was the one-line ZAxisMapping magic to make the touchpad's
scroll strip (similar to mouse wheel) work. Then again that was
cut&pasteable from somewhere else. Everything else pretty much just
automagically worked.
