The only thing that is a bit annoying is sound (which has been reported as working, read the other posts). BTW, integrated sound chipset are usually crap. ACPI/APIC isn't really necessary (I wasn't using it since DES told it was working with NO_MIXED_MODE commented). The MB has two integrated networking chipsets, and people usually don't care about one not working. And I said I was clueless about USB because I wasn't using it. That makes the box usuable (remove "totally" if it can make you happier). My point is that a page with FreeBSD/amd64 status on different MBs would be much more useful than "Plz stay away from nvidia, this is crap". -- Florent Thoumie flz@xbsd.org [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBCYP0lMxEkbVFH3PQRAgxoAJ9RmnjAgMUiOhggk4whhrcVA5WRaQCfUs7l 1Y83BxyF/H7is168/aBcib4= =GGpR -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----home | help
