I don't have the tablet with me at the moment, but I do have the kernel config file (attached). The only options in there that I don't typically include on other machines are CPU_ENABLE_LONGRUN and SC_PIXEL_MODE, but I did have the sound and CD-ROM working on this kernel. For the VESA console you'll want to check the output of "vidcontrol -i mode", but IIRC I used this in /etc/rc.conf: allscreens_flags="-f 8x8 cp437-8x8.fnt MODE_280" Obviously you could substitute different font sizes and character pages as appropriate. I did set up X.org, but don't have my config file. "Xorg -configure" was reasonably helpful. I may have only been able to use X's VESA driver, but I don't remember for certain. I do remember that the mouse was flakey. My inability to get the built-in wireless working (even with NDIS) coupled with the mouse not behaving well enough to use in X put a damper on my enthusiasm for running FreeBSD on the device. I didn't explore using the stylus at all. I'd be interested in getting e-mail updates if you make any headway on any of those fronts, and I'll try to keep an eye on your blog. JN
