The initial testing that has been performed shows that most BSD operating systems worked with our machines, with the exception of the touchpad. We have tested FreeBSD and found it lacks support for the I2C interface that the trackpad uses so the trackpad doesn't work. The BSD developers have been working on adding support for this, but until they do, the trackpads won't function, unfortunately. Please let us know if you have any further questions and we will be happy to help :) -- Kind regards, Stephen I'm in no position to say whether the trackpad will work with OpenBSD. -- Edward Ahlsen-Girard Ft Walton Beach, FL
