It has the right features and an attractive price but after some investigation I'm not sure anymore. There is an ongoing discussion suggesting that the HP bios is broken, i.e. poor compliance with ACPI specs.

Let us hope for HP to provide a bios upgrade solution. - Ulf _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-mobile To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
