notebook compliant with Dfly 1.6.x

2006-10-14 Thread Saverio Iacovelli 
I want buy a notebook, where I will install also
DragonFly. What are the better choice in this matter:

1) there are the trademarks better than other for
hardware compatility (Acer or Asus...)

2) and what models of notebook you recommend me for
hardware compatility

Thanks,
Saverio

PS = I read that DFly 1.6.2 is released, where I can
download DFly 1.6.2 images?

Saverio,

may be you should have a look at FreeBSD hardware compatibility lists and on 
http://tuxmobil.org/mobile_bsd.html for first informations.

If you have some notebooks of choice, you should find out about their 
network, sound etc. chips and find out, if DFly supports them.

 2) and what models of notebook you recommend me for
 hardware compatility

I would like to suggest to go into a notebook shop with a DFly CD and boot 
the candidates there, if possible.  Check dmesg and try out to load modules 
for sound, network, etc.

I use an Asus V6835VLP notebook. I have a minor issue with ACPI (can 
be fixed with debug.acpi.disabled=sysresource in /boot/loader.conf) and 
problems with in X11 with the built-in ATI Mobility X600.

As someone else wrote, taking a liveCD into the store and booting a
machine using that (if a store will let you) is also a good idea.

Sephe is working on porting of Marvell Yukon2 ethernet driver from OpenBSD and 
we are testing it on my Toshiba Satellite M50-101.
It works fine, but sephe has not committed yet.

If from pciconf -lv you see such kind of ethernet adapter, it will be soon 
available on DFBSD.
