IFAIK you can do it in Linux. In any case this laptop has the battery dead already so its AC always. On another note, as I've refereed in the other report, my perfect scenario for this laptop would be using the intel on host and pass-trough the ati to virtualized guest... vbox is not and option and AFAIK bhyve is far from that too, but maybe Xen will be a solution soon :) But for now I'll just keep testing with this one ;) thanks for you're time on this btw, please continue the good work -- > Jean-S=C3=A9bastien P=C3=A9dron > >
