Running Xfree 3.3.3.1 & enlightenment 0.15.5/fvwm2. Agreed, I use it at 1024x768 16bpp (XFreee 3.3.4) and have no complaints. > fine, and quality as good as I've seen.

I have sound running nicely after (finally) matching the irq's/dma/IO parameters correctly in bios and kernel under FreeBSD 3.3-RC on Dell Inspiron 3500. (Had to lose the parallel port as there were not enough irqs to support modem and ethernet cards plus everything else.) tonym To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
