Re: best way to keep track of new developments
> intel 3945 wireless > ati x1300 graphics I have the intel 3945 on my Sony laptop. Works for me with Damien Bergamini driver 20070121-wpi-freebsd.tar.gz and FreeBSD-6.2-RELEASE. There are a lot of error messages but it works nonetheless. However i suspect that it produces memory corruption in conjunction with the display card, which freezes from time to time when the 3945 is activated and i am running X. I have never seen a crash when the 3945 is shut down or i am running on console. The most recent driver by B. Close is 20070715-wpi-freebsd-7.0-current.tgz but it works only with FreeBSD-7 so i cannot test it. I have tested other B. Close drivers, none worked. As for the video, an Intel card is highly recommended, it works very well on laptops and is sufficiently powerful to run things like compiz. There are very good available video modes on console, contrary to many other models. -- Michel TALON ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

It's been really close to working for a few months now, and there's a new tarball out. I haven't tested it yet though.

best way to keep track of new developments
im due for a new laptop at work, which will likely be an HP NC6400 (our standard). an otherwise really nice laptop, but with 2 showstoppers: intel 3945 wireless ati x1300 graphics i know there has been some development here and there to try to get these guys to work in freebsd. whats the best way to keep track of who owns these projects, and to follow with intrest how the work is going? ive been testing freebsd with these NC6400s (before they are deployed out to the users who they were ordered for), and so far, these are the first 2 pieces of hardware that have not worked out of the box for me. thanks, -- Jonathan Horne http://dfwlpiki.dfwlp.org [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
