Heheh I'm sorry I forgot to say what my laptop model was (however I did say it in an email I sent about 2 months ago, that somehow got away unnoticed :P http://news.gw.com/freebsd.mobile/13375 ). My laptop is a Toshiba s5205-503. I've still got the same problems described in that e-mail, however now I know this laptop's BIOS is only accesible v=eda a windoze-based application, and that there is no way to change the PNP-OS state. I've also tried OSS drivers, none at all match my sound card and I tried a few ones which were similar without success.. and while I thought everything was solved with GNOME's keyboard accessibility features, I hadn't noticed GDM still had the problem... The fix I had found once involved changing a few lines in atkbd.c , and then recompiling the kernel, I think. I used it once, but I reinstalled my system recently and I lost that fix. I can't remember exactly in what mailing list I found that fix, but I'm sure it was one of these: freebsd-questions, freebsd-mobile or freebsd-hardware. BTW In my laptop, pressing esc while the toshiba logo is there only shows you one BIOS configuration option: "Reset BIOS to default (y/n)?". Either yes or no and off you go, nothing else. I don't know who was genius enough inside toshiba to do such intelligent changes, perhaps the same one which decided the network should not be usable when the phone line is connected (whether you're connected to the internet or offline). Thanks for the feedback Happy new year, everyone
