Re: Is FreeBSD suitable for my thinkpad T61 ?
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ha scritto: Hi all, I brought a new ThinkPad T61 for work, the hardware is as follows: T7300(2GHz), 2GB RAM, 120GB 5400rpm HD, 15.4in 1680x1050 LCD, 128MB nVIDIA Quadro NVS 140M, CDRW/DVDRW, Intel 802.11agn(n-disabled), Bluetooth, Modem, 1Gb Ethernet, UltraNav, Secure chip, Intel Turbo, 9c Li-Ion, I have a T61, T7100, 1GB RAM, integrated graphics, 3945ABG... My current working involves scientific calculation and programming. I'm from a linux background(redhat, debian, ubuntu), but after some googling and comparison, I found FreeBSD more stable and I want to try FreeBSD. I am tired of a dual-boot system, so I want to just install FreeBSD or another linux distribution(maybe ubuntu) on my notebook. My questions are: 1) Can FreeBSD work well with my hardware? The display card, CDRW/DVDRW, wireless, Ethernet and battery managment are the most important. There are some problems with the 3945 wifi driver (wpi) but it works under 7-STABLE. If you have 4965AGN you need iwn driver which is only (i think) in -CURRENT (8.0) 2) I have read the FreeBSD Handbook. According to Chapter 10: Linux Binary Compatibility, it seems that FreeBSD lacks support of many commercial softwares such as MATLAB, Oracle, Mathematica. Is the linux binary compatibility stable enough for work ? Thanks a lot. I run Matlab (maybe R14SP3 or something similar) under FreeBSD 7-STABLE on this laptop with linux_base-fc4.

Ghostscript and options window
When I build print/ghostscript-gpl on my 6.2-STABLE I have to choose which driver to build through the "GPL Ghostscript driver configuration" window.

I solved the problem XAA is enabled, so 2D acceleration is enabled. My system isn't slow, but only Thunderbird and Acroread are slow. Other programs like opera, pidgin, inkscape, abiword, gnumeric, . work without problems at normal speed. TB and Acroread are the programs (with gui) I use the most under FreeBSD. TB is not so slow under XP I will look for alternatives to Thunderbird and Acrobat Reader The composite extension is enabled in xorg but unused in XFCE, so I will disable it in my xorg.conf ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Maybe you have to change
(int*) &sv
with
sv
because &sv returns an int**, not int*
