Dear all,
I install FreeBSD 5.2.1 ( with X ) on my Dell Inspiron
2650. The X is working properly.
It's out of the box!

sound support was also very dodgy. Now I have the urge to put FreeBSD
on a laptop again

it, then it's probably
the mainboard and I'm afraid that's likely to be an expensive repair. This is
the big problem with laptops - expensive and proprietary parts.

I'm trying to install 5.2.1 on an old laptop, replacing 4. There is no
