I'm getting a new laptop, probably a Compaq EVO N410c.
Which would I be better of installing 5.0 or 4.7?

I am trying to use the xf86config graphics utility on my Dell Cpi
laptop, but the resolution is very small. Its pry like 340x something.
I can't see all of the menus. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I'm having a problem using my pcmcia modem that I have on my Xircon
card. When I try to use kppp with KDE it freezes when I try to query
the modem. I couldn't find any references to pcmcia modems in the
handbook, could someone point me in the right direction?

Are you getting any other error messages or clues? Is the error

what is?

Have you tried to put "options PNPBIOS" in your kernel config file
and then make a new kernel?
This works on SOME laptops.

Hi,
I am trying to install FreeBSD on DELL laptop.
After configuring kernel I confirm savings and message
pops up:
"Found PC-card slot(s)
Use PC-card device as installation media
YES NO"
My keyboard is not responding anymore.

Hello Family,
I have a laptop (Toshiba-1715) running FreeBSD-4.6.2 and I have
an external IBM_Travelstar 8-gig drive with of course a SCSI
based PCMCIA card to connect to the IDE drive, all of which are
from IBM.
On boot the drive is fully recognized in "dmesg" with:
