           <p>Nearly all Hardware is supported, except FireWire and WinModem.</p>
           <p>APM is well supported. Suspend mode (apm -s/zzz) works without
           problems. Hibernation (suspend to disk) works also fine but
           requires a small MS-DOS partition with a hibernation file at the
           beginning of the harddisk. You can create this file with tphdisk
           from ports. (/usr/ports/sysutils/tphdisk)</p>
   
           <p>X.org works fine. Download an example
           <a href="http://www.ba-net.org/x31/xorg.conf">config file</a>.
           The two extra keys around the cursor block can be configured via
           xmodmap.</p>
           <p>Example:</p>
           <pre>
               xmodmap -e "keycode 233 = Page_Down"
               xmodmap -e "keycode 234 = Page_Up"

           <p>The integrated Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 in my X31 (Model 2672-C8G)
           works with the ipw(4) driver. But you need to download the unfree
           firmware first to get it working. For more details read
           <tt>man 4 ipw</tt>.</p>
   
           <p>I'm planning to replace this card with a ral(4) or an ath(4).
           For these cards, no unfree firmware required. To replace it,
           I'll have to <i>unlock</i> the bios first because IBM allows only
           <i>special</i> IBM wireless cards to be installed. The bios can
           be patched with the tpwireless program.
           (/usr/ports/misc/tpwireless, <b>use on your own risk!</b>)</p>
   
           <p>The integrated CF-Card reader (really nice!) is supported

           <p>Enhanced SpeedStep is supported. You can adjust the cpu speed
           via sysctl. (<tt>sysctl hw.setperf</tt>)</p>
   
           <p>The on-board fxp(4) and auich(4) are working without problems.</p>
   
           <p>The keys for mute, volume up and volume down are working fine.
           No special software is required. If you'd like to get the big
           "Access IBM" button to work and have a nice on-screen display, you
           can install tpb from ports. (/usr/ports/sysutils/tpb) This works just
           fine and you have nice on-screen messages when you change volume and
