I have one with FreeBSD 8.1. Some difficulties to install X11 (I had to

Hi there Bernard and thanks for your comment!

Can you tell me if suspend to ram (acpiconf -s3) works on the mini 
CQ10-120?, although I presume it doesn´t work that well, or at all, if 
you had to use vesa instead of the intel driver ... I would expect 
that would cause the screen not to come back after suspend and ACPI is 
my main concern in my netbook.


Are you loading the i915 driver in your /boot/loader.conf?

Thanks a lot and my best regards
Gonzalo Nemmi

Hi Gonzalo,
As you expect, the screen doesn't come back.
I didn't make any change to /boot/loader.conf.
Have a good day
Bernard Lecuire

Try PCBSD (http://pcbsd.org), is a Desktop BSD variant based on FreeBSD.
Personally, I've used FreeBSD in a laptop in a few occasions but after
trying out PCBSD, this path requires the least effort to setup a
Desktop. The installation  setting up of hardware is too easy. The
kernel that comes with it, does a good job in recognizing the wireless
chip, sound card, NIC, display  other stuff. Even though it uses the
PBI format to install software on PCBSD, one can still use port to
install additional softwares on it by using the portjail console. Both
PBI  port works together well.

In short, it definitely worth a try! :)
I have tried to install PC-BSD without success. In the process, the 
screen turned black and i had to turn the CQ10 off. I don't know whether 
there is an issue with PC-BSD or if I did something wrong.

There's an option for display wizard to change display settings but
I've never had a chance to use it because the machines I use (2 laptop
with intel chipset  1 desktop with nvidia chipset) have no problem
detecting the display settings. :)

Can you tell us what is the Chip of your internal WiFi device?. Maybe
knowing the Chip model and brand someone knows if can help you. :)

Thanks you very much, in advance.

Regards.

Jose.

I have used  that PC. I am pretty sure it has an 'N' protocol wireless
network card and therefore FreeBSD will most likely not support it.
Virtually all new PCs have 'N' protocol cards installed by default
unless it is a very cheap model.
