Re: Can I use FreeBSD-current?? (sony vaio hardware)

Hi 

using FreeBSD 6.2 stable would be a nice idea too.

1)no problem at all, I'm using a Core2Duo at my laptop

2)depends on ACPI in your bios

3)is possible with IWI driver

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=iwi&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+6.2-stable&format=html

4)this depends on your bios, but there is a module called acpi_sony and
acpi_video in
/boot/kernel

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=acpi_sony&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+6.2-stable&format=html


Cheers,

Oliver

Many are called, few are chosen.
Fewer still get to do the choosing.
