Toshiba Tecra M10

I've been running KDE on 9.x-stable for several months without trouble on a Toshiba Tecra M10. The WiFi, sound, and 1280x800 resolution all been working without problem. Extra ACPI functionality sensing the lid-close event has popped up in a 9.1-stable update a week or so ago.

Only real problem was the initial install, the bios wouldn't allow an install CD to boot; I finally removed the drive and installed a base system on the drive elsewhere before putting the drive back in the Tecra. I always install without ports, sources, and docs; and then install current ports and sources via CTM; which the Tecra M10 was quite happy with once I got a base system onto the hard drive.

For benefit of any FreeBSD laptop database my dmesg.boot is below, but I have excluded details of a new HDD and blanked-out my Mac-addresses.

Note: the above pciconf is from a 9.2-stable built on Sat Feb 23 2013.

As far as power control, allowing a low battery event is a disaster after which it seems unresponsive and I've had to reboot. And I think once or twice the lid-down event lead to it freezing with a screen of rubbish (operating from KDE).
