Hey all,

I realize laptop compatability is probably the most overdiscussed thing on
this list, but I can't find a single thing in the archives or on google
relating to running FreeBSD on an Acer Aspire 9804, so sadly, I'm desperate
enough to try posting here :P

Has anyone had any experience with the Acer Aspire 9804? I have it here
currently, but I can't install FreeBSD on it without voiding my tenative
agreement with the shop I got it from, to return it if I can't get linux
working on it.

Specifically, I'm hoping audio (internal speakers), wireless, and the tv
tuner work. An added bonus would be the USB attatched IRC received and its
remote.

I've included all relevant information - if you need more, let me know and
I'll grab it as soon as I can.

TIA
Grecko
