I have an old Acer Aspire 1501 lmi running FreeBSD 7 RELEASE (amd64)
This laptop had problems working with the FreeBSD 5.X or 6.X releases but it works flawlessly with FreeBSD 7 amd64 .
Tested and Working:
- AMD Powernow and frequency scaling with excellent support of cpufreq and powerd.
- broadcom Gigabit ethernet
- firewire
- pcmcia
- the most of ACPI
- broadcom wifi (minipci) works with the windows 64 bit ndis drivers
- The onboard Ati radeon 9600 mobility is working perfectly with the Xorg radeon driver with DRI. I use it with the resolution 1400x1024 without problem.
- The synaptics touchpad
- All the Fn key combinations
- The VIA soundcard
- The usb 1.0 and 2.0
Tested and not Working:
- The onboard winmodem doesn't work (intel536 chipset)
- The (acpi) shortcut buttons
- The suspend-to-ram and suspend-to-disk functions
