i need to buy new notebook for personal use. Could you give me an advice what will be actually FULLY supported by FreeBSD. Other needs are: a) low price b) high reliability c) long battery run processing power and extra peripherals are not important, even slower NEW laptops are much more powerful that me needs. Especially WiFi is unneeded, LAN will be OK but it's not a problem to attach one. thank you very much _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to " [EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Hi, I dont know about other laptops, just the one I own. It's an acer 1644WLMi. It's supported completely by freebsd. I bought it 1yr ago, now it should be very cheap. It has a 2.0ghz Centrino (Pentium M), 1GB RAM DDR, a 120GB 5200rpm disk, WiFi, USBx4, Intel High definition audio, Intel GMA 945 128MB, battery used to hold for more than 2hr in working mode. There's only a couple of things that you'll need to tweak: 1) snd_hda doesn't come in 6_RELENG.Check the multimedia mailing list to learn how to get it working (everything works great, speaker, line, mic, etc..) 2) The ACPI implementation has a couple of bytecodes fsckd up. You need to fix it and load the modified AML. Check the acpi mailing list to get some help on correcting this minor issue.
