In the past I have used the excellent resources of linux-laptop.net to configure various laptops for use under FreeBSD. It is an excellent source of, for instance, XFree86 configuration files. It also can help to provide hints for getting various laptop peripherals working such as sound cards, internal modems, and some of those nifty extra buttons that most laptops seem to come with nowadays. The advice may be linux-centric, but anyone with a modicum of FreeBSD experience can generally extract useful information to apply towards a similar FreeBSD configuration. Brandon D.
