For the T series, also note that FreeBSD does not work with sound (same
chip as the A series), and X does not work out of the box (it uses a
Salvage IX chipset, unlike the A series which uses some ATI). I have,

can be put into ports after I package it up and make sure it's not breaking
anything else.
