On a Gateway ML6732 notebook, FreeBSD 9-stable is working great. Video
works (i915), sound works, the only thing that isn't quite right is that
the first character typed after the FreeBSD kernel loads is lost. After
that, it works normally. This makes entering a passphrase more
challenging.
Any suggestions on what to check? ACPI? atkbd hints?
Currently it's running 9-stable, but did the same thing with 8.x. Of
course it works normally for the BIOS and boot menu, FreeBSD loader
menu, Windows, and Xubuntu.
The system is not terribly old, a Pentium Dual T2390, and this is with a
GENERIC kernel.
