Even if PAE would fix the X problem I can't live without USB. This system
has no PS/2 keyboard controller.
I wasn't aware that amd64 was the same 64 bit architecture as used by Intel.
Are there any known backwards compatibility issues with running i386 linux
binaries for example if I switch over to amd64?
Also, could I switch to amd64 by just changing make.conf and doing a buildworld and buildkernel
or would I have to do a binary upgrade or maybe even a clean install?
