There are lists... lemme see... http://www.cse.ucsc.edu/~dkulp/fbsd/laptop.html http://freebsd-laptop.grot.org/ These lists often don't have the latest models. An X11 config that works for Linux will also work for FreeBSD (check Google). Other potential problem areas include power management, built-in WinModems, and CardBus support. Incidentally, an older, cheaper notebook that is considered too slow to work well with less efficient operating systems can work fine with FreeBSD. My 192M, 300 MHz PII (used) Toshiba runs a full FreeBSD install fine, and cost less than a quarter of what a new 1G machine would have cost. Even big and slow Mozilla works adequately. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
