I have a Sony Vaio F807K which is working fine running FreeBSD, the only parts of it which aren't supported are the firewire interface and the winmodem which comes internally, the standard X that comes with freebsd supports the ATI Rage Mobility 1 gfx chipset which it uses, so overall I'm happy with having freebsd running on it :) -- Simon Dick simond@irrelevant.org "Why do I get this urge to go bowling everytime I see Tux?"
