the XF v3 stuff that was in xsrc around the release of 1.5 doesn't work
on T21.   there are still things that make the server crash.  (see
http://www.probo.com/timr/savage40.html for details...)

note that XFree86 4 drivers are OS independent, so you should be
able to run newer drivers from that page (i was able to run the i386 linux
and openbsd compiled drivers on my system).

same here, its an old bug.   it only happens if you are running "apmd" ... 
kill "apmd" and close the top and it will not happen.  the same problem 
occurs on an old IBM 560 thinkpad i have.   i'm going to look into fixing 
it (suspect it has already been fixed elsewhere, so it just a matter of 
pulling in the right diffs).

i would avoid pulling things out of the Ultrabay while it is running.   
i've gotten my system in a state where it starts beeping constantly
by doing this -- very annoying (but at least you can mute it).

the sound chip does not initialize properly if you do not cycle the 
power after running Windows 2000.   if you just run BSD it is fine (at
least for me).   [bug in clcs0 driver?]



another problem is that the MiniPCI 3com ethernet chip isn't supported 
in 1.5 (but is in -current).  i back-ported to 1.5.  the WinModem doesn't
work either (of course).

i haven't figured a way to get hibernate mode to work either (other
than in windows 2000).


other than that sort of stuff, i'm quite fond of my T21.
