I've been running FreeBSD on a T40p, which is almost the same, for a while. I have run into some issues that it seems you don't have. Would you mind sending me a copy of your kernel configuration? > As I said, the machine boots fine.

I had no trouble getting it to detect the cardbus controller, though I was never able to boot with a device inserted (I had to wait and hotswap them during operation). Also, having cardbus support enabled seemed to break random things all over, including X crashing upon startup. I will try and see if the above fix has any effect on that. > Suprisingly, ACPI also works fine, even S3 suspend does what it should do. Even S1-S2?

USB dies on my system too, but a resume also has the effect that the system is behaving like it's under tremedous load. Typing characters at the console feels like I'm ssh:ing over a variable-speed modem :) This makes suspend/resume unusable. Did you have to do anything in order for suspend/resume to work completely?
