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.
