I now have everything working on the X31 in FreebSD 5.4-STABLE. The trackpoint scrolls properly and the forward and back buttons work great. The only issues that remain are with the suspend to disk problems and the security chip not being supported yet

Only because this site has no BSD topic.

I keep hearing about this partition and I am confused. I have a few questions: 1. what is the hidden partition for? Is it automatically there and occupying my HDD, or do I have to set it up (i.e. by instructing Rescue and Recover/Rapid Restore to backup onto my own HD) 2. is it the stuff that can g...

alright, 1.) Check My Computer and see if u have 2 HD drives. if so then u have a partitioned HD... 2.) ALWAYS make rescue discs because u never know when your HD will get corrupted.. for the hidden stuff in partition i have noidea.. heh sorry :P Most notebook manufacturers, including IBM, create a...

I did install BSD on the X31. First I tried NetBSD, but that required using the -current branch to get the ipw driver (PRO Wireless) working. After a day and a half of trying to compiling the -current branch and failing, I gave up and went to the tried-and-true FreeBSD: FreeBSD 5.4-Release worked al...

In a day or two I will put FreeBSD 5.4 on my X31. I will let you know how that goes. I cannot imagine that the T42 would be drastically different.

I ordered it from www.computerstore.com (I must admit that the company I work for (SDC) is a owned by IBM, so we may have gotten it a bit faster that way. I got a 1,5 Pentium M CPU. I haven't tested the battery that much yet, but with the 8 cell battery at normal usage, BT disabled, WiFi enabled an...

How is the battery life on minimum power draw (which CPU did you get)

THe X1 is just some rebadged samsung, and it looks promising. edit: After reading reviews and looking in to it, I'm very interested.

If you're referrung to the actual LCD, what you're asking is impossible. If you're referring to some other portion of the display assembly, please be more specific. Do you mean the bezel (plastic surround) that covers the front of the display? Also, please update your profile with your location. Re...

Are you sure you are upgrading? The X41 consumes considerable more power than the X40 because of the Somonia chip set. The integrated graphics is better than the X40. The size and weight of the X41 with its 8-cell batter is similar to the X31 with its 6-cell batter. The X41 uses a non-standard prio...

Anybody know the replacement part number for the inside of the LCD face plating? I cracked mine and need to replace it.

Hi. I was wondering if anybody knew around when to expect the X41 tablet to be released. I am using an X31 now and would want to upgrade to an X41 Tablet, but if it will not be out by August, I would just get the X41 for now and then get a tablet later. Also, I can't seem to understand the bluetooth...

I have an IBM X31 that I will be placing for sale sometime soon, and since I am in the Baltimore-Washington area, a sale to you might be easy. Let me know if you are interested. I know that usually these things shouldn't be posted in the regular forums, so if I am committing a wrong post, please for...
