I installed FreeBSD on a friend's ThinkPad 500.  The PointerStickThingee
is psm0.  Everything works, except for the annoyance that the detachable
disk drive has to be attached at boot to be probed, and if it is detached,
it will never function properly until it is reprobed.  My friend runs X on
it in four megs of RAM, so it takes a fairly good beating and it has had
no problems to date. 

Marc.
