Alas ! I was not fully awake and I did not see ACPI was not enabled when I tested >-( tested combinations : no ACPI : X11 with neomagic driver : OK X11 with vesa driver : OK (but no XVideo) no external disk drive detection on the firewire with ACPI : X11 with neomagic : instant freeze of the machine X11 with vesa : OK correct external disk detection and use in all cases dri is disabled, and no drm modules are loaded : % kldstat Id Refs Address Size Name 1 5 0xc0400000 590f74 kernel 2 1 0xc0991000 c048 snd_ds1.ko 3 2 0xc099e000 1d58c snd_pcm.ko 4 1 0xc09bc00²0 48390 acpi.ko this is with FreeBSD 5.2-CURRENT #3: Sun Feb 29 02:09:56 CET 2004 and XFree86-Server-4.3.99.15_2 (locally compiled). I suspect I'll boot and reboot until I change the machine (as soon as a notebook K8 arrives ?) I did not see any options related to an IRQ for the VGA display in the BIOS setup (but setting "PnP OS" to NO crashes the machine) this a PCG-F707 VAIO from Sony, with a very limited BIOS, and for which I did not find any "ACPI patch" file (ASL).
