Hello,
I've successfully installed FreeBSD 4.7-stable (now customized to run
the sound card) on my Toshiba Satellite notebook; the video (1024x768,
16bit) is running ok, there was a problem with the keyboard (ssomme
keyys wass haavving this behhavioor), and solved. I'm listing the
X86Config lines that worked for me and the workaround for the
keyboard.
As I use a USB mouse, I've not paid attention to touchpad pointing
device.
I'd like to share some info with other users that are using this
notebook and FreeBSD.
There's one thing that I'm not getting solution: on text mode, my
screen is reduced to a small 640x480 square. This LCD doesn't scale, I
loss about 1,5 inch of screen on each side. Is there a hack to get
text mode running @ 1024x768 ??
Regards,
Fernando Monteiro

SOUND DEVICE DRIVER
===================
The Yamaha AC-XG is supported by pcm. Look on the Handbook, there's
install intructions. Kernel recompilation is required.
KEYBOARD
=========
This was my great trouble. When I was typing fast, some key were
bouncing, mmy textts aare beiing shhoweed likee this. =^(
My notebook has a US-Int keyboard, but my country language is
portuguese, I need to use characters like á é í ... Those Alt-Gs. Some
sites suggest to inlcude this option:
Option "XkbDisable"
on the section where the keyboard is configured on X86Config. But this
brings me some trouble, as I can't use Alt-G chars.
The workaround is use a small app present in ports, xkbctrl. It's use
is undocumented, there's the shortcut:
xkbctrl +bounce 50
GRAPHICS
========
This note has a S3 SuperSavage, the S3 Savage driver works fine.
