Really? My IBM Thinkpad T21 pretty much ran out of the box. I had to
add a line to /lib/vgadb, but that was it. Certainly, getting Plan 9
on it was a lot easier than FreeBSD. Unfortunately, there's no driver
for the audio hardware. (If there is, and anyone knows about it,
please let me know---I'd love to listen to music without draining the
batteries on my discman.)
(Speaking of /lib/vgadb, the line I added is:
0xC0045="S3 Savage\IX BIOS Ver. 4.02.50 - 39"
And it was added to the stanza containing other Savage entries. I'm
not sure who to send that to, ultimately.)

Man, with my dinky apartment in New York, a laptop is about the only
computer I can use. :-) I just wish I had a bigger display.
