The overpriced computers that so many folks just had to have back in the mid to late 1990's. I recall one lawyer I worked for paid over $7,000 USD for his ThinkPad and that 15 years ago when the dollar was still ahead of the Euro. Everybody wanted one because of those three magic lettters, IBM. And I always thought that was funny because IBM made very little if any of the parts that went into a ThinkPad laptop. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

If you are missing OSS from devices, then it is not installed. Once you install the port, configure it use OSS. For all 3 dropdowns under the Devices settings. I'm not seeing the above in the ports tree. :/ The port is here: $ pwd /usr/ports/audio/linux-f10-alsa-plugins-oss Definitely not in my ports tree. I'm running amd64, and my ports tree is old.

I'll update and see what I get Well I update on a daily basis, but I am pretty sure this is an older port. In any case, you know # portsnap fetch # portsnap update P.S. I was interested in a W500, but due to it being ATI, I rather go with T400 or X200 because of the Intel graphics. If no 3D acceleration is fine by you, W500 is a beast by all means. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
