Last week, I bought a Toshiba 2595XDVD laptop and, since my house and cubicle are Microsoft-free zones, installed FreeBSD 3.3 on it. This has been my second experience with a FreeBSD laptop. Except for some nits, it's gone well. I need help with those nits. First, this thing has built in sound devices, based on the ESS ES1978 chipset, claims SB Pro compatibility, etc. The only noise I can get out of it is the BEEP when I try to backspace too far. Both the Voxware SB drivers and Luigi Rizzo's pcm driver simply say "pcm0 not found" or "sb0 not found". I've scoured the man pages, etc., ad nauseum. I am obviously missing something. What, I don't know. Anyone gotten sound to work on a similar (or identical) laptop? Second, the builtin modem; I've got it set at default locations in the BIOS (com2, 0x2f8, irq 3) but all I get at boot is "sio1: configured irq 3 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0 sio1: not found" The device sio1 line in my config is the standard one. I'm not sure what the message about probed irqs really means, but I suspect the builtin device is a WinModem. Can't get anything from Toshiba yet. In any case, what does that message mean? The good news is that most things work with this machine. Got X up and running at 1024x768x64k, looks great. Machine is nice and fast, has some really neat features. But I would *really* appreciate some help with these two areas. Thanks in advance.
