Hey, firstly I want to say that I found all the help documents or topics written for the FreeBSD is very clear. That was a problem for me while I'm using GNU/Linux for even a short time.
But I couldn't really make the freebsd run smoothly on my computer. I have been sitting at my computer for two days and I just managed to run xfce4/xorg. I had and still have problem with:
Xorg -configure
Vesa driver (xorg only runs with xf86-video-intel driver)
monitoring cpu status (frequency, voltage)
Settings volume (no widget at the bottom)
Problems with xf86-video-intel driver (GPU hunging, tearing) ('tearfree' doesn't work)
Browsers are buggy (Sound continues at the background)
Firefox doesn't have a sandbox and some other components are not available as well.
I can't use the glxinfo command. It not exists.
Overheating etc.
My laptop is Aspire 5735z.
I'm not a computer/software engineer, and I don't think I will be. Do you think is it worth all the trouble?
