Hello.
I'm going to buy HP 6820s laptop, and I want to know, can I run FreeBSD on it. I googled, but didn't find any information.
And with Linux this model work perfect, out from the box.
Hi,
I have HP 6820s and use it with FreeBSD almost year.
First, there was some troubles with DRM in 7.0, Mobility Radeon X1350 not supported by included version of DRM, so I've installed new version from git-repository manually.
Now I use 8.0-CURRENT, but still there's no hardware 3D-acceleration... Maybe I'm doing something wrong...
Wireless card seems to work perfectly with wpi(4) driver.
Also microphone doesn't work, but I haven't spend much time on this.
And there are some troubles with ACPI, which I'm currently trying to solve.
acpiconf -s 3 puts computer in sleep state, but cann't normally return back, after pressing power button it shows just blank screen with blinking text cursor.
As for bluetooth, card-reader - I've not even tried to make it work, cause I don't need it.
Oh, I almost forget about powerd(8). Without it CPU always working at maximum frequency, and active cooling produces loud noise. And when I run Fallout 2 under wine, it fully loads one CPU core and CPU temperature goes up to 100°C ! At that time, normal working temperature is in range 65-80...
