I have a Toshiba Satellite 2805-S201 that is working quite well with FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE. I am running XFree86 3.3.6 (whatever was on 4.2-RELEASE) at 1024x768x16bpp. This laptop has a S3 Savage IX/M video chip with 8MB of RAM. My only problems with video are that at 32bpp the display is unstable with a lot of disruption when the display is updated by mouse pointer movement or drawing of windows. At 16bpp it does not have that problem. There is also the problem with the console being unusable upon exit from the X server. This may have something to do with XScreensaver as it only has problems after it has been left idle long enough for the screensaver to kick in. These problems will probably go away as the Savage handling code in the SVGA server matures. XF86 4.x may handle it already. I just haven't tried yet. The only hadware in the laptop that I have been unable to use is the built-in Xircom MPCI modem. I don't know how to go about determining if it is controllerless or if I have just not found the right settings for sio. I haven't attempted to find a DVD player for it yet. -- Scott Lambert lambert@cswnet.com Systems and Security Administrator CSW Net, Inc. ================================================================ Written: Monday, January 29, 2001 - 07:23 PM To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
