Well, I've got my Dell 8200.   I bought it with the Geforce 2 because
XFree86 explicititely said that it worked with their 4.2.  But I
understand that there are FreeBSD specific issues, ie. it doesn't work. 
My screen starts up but turns into a psychedelic mixture of colors.

I checked back thru the questions, mobile, multimedia, and harware list
archives and I came up with two web pages that might have a solution. 
The first was nvidia.netexplore.org.  They have a patch that works with
an Nvidia linux driver that unfortunately is no longer on the Nvidia
page.  The second is www.marcuscom.com which has a patch to our nv
server port.  

I'm just wondering what the latest info is as all of what I've seen
looks pretty old.  I'm going to try the patch agains the server today,
though.

BTW, this laptop kicks ass!  Kernel builds and port builds go faster
than my 1200Mhz DDR main system.  Very nice.  

Thanks,  Rob
