XFree86 3.3.6 took a little bit of time and googling to get the resolution right (Trident video), but it works. Sound (SounBlaster 16) was simple, I just had to use the PS2.EXE utility to find out the correct resouses to configure the kernel. This model does not have an internal NIC or modem, so I don't know about any problems you might have with those. FYI, for PCMCIA cards I have a 3Com Etherlink III (3C589D) NIC, USRobotics Megahertz 33.6 modem, and a Lucent Orinoco Silver wireless card.

I don't know if this applies to the whole 560 series, or just the 560e, but there is a thread in the XFree86-developers archive regarding problems with this model of a ThinkPad and 4.x. I think the discussion ended with something in the IBM BIOS not letting XFree86 talk to the vidoe card properly. Either way, 4.x will not work on the 560e. I tried it for a good week before going back to 3.3.6. Hope this helps. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
