Hi all, 

I have been on the mailing list and have seen the messages regarding X
on the TP 560.  I have not been able to get it to work.  I use the
XF86Setup program in /usr/X11R6/bin.  I get the mouse to work.  I set
the keyboard generic 101 or WinBook XP5 which looks kind of like the
TP. I set the card to cyber928x chipset and the rest of the stuff I
leave at probed, I set the monitor to Extended SVGA with 640x480 and
800x600 support.  Then when the the Setup launches the SVGA server it
just goes completely white and hangs.  I can telnet from another
machine and kill the server with a -TERM then the screen is all messed
up in text mode and I have to shutdown -r.  BTW, this is 2.2.2-RELEASE
from the PAO boot disk.

The other problem I have is how to use the sb0 ESS AudioDrive sound
support.  During bootup I get:

sb0 at 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 on isa
sb0: <SoundBlaster Pro 3.1>
sbxvi0 not found
sbmidi0 not found at 0x330
opl0 at 0x388 on isa
opl0: <Yamaha OPL-3 FM>

I have a /dev/snd0 and a /dev/audio

-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel    178733 Jul 11 12:51 /dev/snd0
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root  wheel         6 Jul 11 14:12 /dev/audio -> audio0
crw-rw-rw-  1 root  wheel   30,   4 Jul 11 22:53 /dev/audio0

I got some .au files from the net and in Netscape Communicator on
WinNT 4.0 the files sound clear and great.  But if I do a:

cat class1.au > /dev/audio

it sounds terrible, with distortion and not at all what I would
expect. I did a binary FTP of the sound files from the WinNT 4.0
machine to the FreeBSD TP.

TIA and I really appreciate this list.  I love FreeBSD and have been
using it for about 4 years now. I also love it on the my new 560.
