Update - Thinkpad Z60M

Hi!

I have a Thinkpad Z60t but not with titanium cover :( 
I have got freebsd 6.1 installed on it and all devices was
successfully
found. Except sound and when i tried opensound drivers and
it just make
kernel panics on boot. So without any success and time i
reinstall it
and install ubuntu dapper. It found all and works perfect. 
But i still want t go back to freebsd. So i have a question:
have you
get a problem with sound while installing freebsd?

Thanks!

Victoria

ah yes, same here. (which is getting rather annoying as a)
cant listen
to music, b) cant use skype).

I'm playing with the IRQs, trying to map
which setting in the bios changes what. I am pretty certain
the
conflicts are due to same IRQ being used by several devices,
and the
OSS driver cannot cope with that. (read that in OSS' forum,
as well as
some info gathered from a panic I had).

I'll send more info / questions myself when I have more
information on
the subject. 

Best,
beto

Any news on this ? (I have a Z60M, which supposedly has a
'SoundMax HD
audio chip')

Hey,
nothing on my front - but there is now some support for this
card from the
Freebsd project. check the archives in -mobile (or
-multimedia, cant remember
which one).
