I have a new T400 Thinkpad the following: (note that I've tried many other
avenues to find an answer to my problems, including an experienced oBSD
friend, who suggested I write this).

KYB US ENGLISH   42X6322 SBB ULTRNAV(TRACKP+TOUCHPAD) There are a couple of
issues:

These issues occur both when I install 4.3 and a snapshot of 4.4 (both
amd64). I copied the .iso's using isorecorder2 on a machine running XP. I do
have an "official" set of 4.3 disks coming soon. My Thinkpad came earlier
and I couldn't wait . . . perhaps I should.

1) My ethernet is not being recognized at install and it is not noted when I
"ifconfig." It does recognise that I have a wireless card (ath0), but I
can't configure it.

2) my dmesg command outputs a screen full of:  M^\?

3) X fails to load (the screen flickers and then outs an error message
talking about enough memory for my video card, among other things). I
installed all sets and answered yes to the question about planning to run X.

4) The dmesg.boot file is empty.

I think that's it.

What do you think? Thanks!
