I have a Gateway
MX6436 notebook currently running FreeBSD 7-Stable as it's sole operating system.
Everything works perfectly except the card reader slot, onboard wireless networking card, and dial up modem. The built in Ethernet card has been supported since FreeBSD 6.3-Release and I've ran the display at her native 1280x800px under X.Org 6.9 through 7.3. In some xorg.conf auto-configurations under PC-BSD, I've had the system lock up after ~10min but it doesn't with my xorg.conf, and I don't care much about graphics acceleration beyond playing Wesnoth smoothly.
I don't use any power saving features beyond powerd but ACPI's never bit me in the butt. This laptop has been quite stable since FreeBSD 6.0-Release :-)
