Hi.
I have HP Pavilion ze5470us, and installed 5-current on it.
So far I can say that X works, mouse works, network adapter works,
wireless adapter works with ndisimulator.

But acpi does not work well - it does not know if AC adapter is plugged
in/off; it does not report battery state; I can't change CPU speed;
suspend works but display does not turn on after returning from sleep.
So, thanks to HP, FreeBSD works but without laptop functionality.

Need to write to acpi-jp@jp.freebsd.org.

Regards,
Yevgen
