Re: APM on Toshiba Satellite 1115-S103?

!I'm trying to introduce a friend who lives in a different state
!to the wonderful world of BSD. He's seen reports that there are
!problems with suspend/resume on his laptop (Toshiba Satellite
!1115-S103), and he's also having installation problems (hangs
!after he skips the kernel configuration step).
!
!- From looking at mailing list archives, I gather the workaround
!for the installation problem is to disable the EISA bus.
!
!The last report of apm brokenness on Toshiba laptops I can
!find, however, was from almost a year ago. Does that mean it's
!been fixed since that time, or is it just that nobody's asked? :-)

We tried FreeBSD 4.x-R on a (then) current
Satellite model in October 2001.
About the only thing that we could
not get to work was APM suspend/resume.
We ended up sending it back to Toshiba &
"up-grading" to a Satellite Pro 4600;
APM suspend/resume works 99.9 % (or so)
of the time, currently with 4.7-R.
The only thing that isn't yet supported
is the internal miniPCI modem.
