  I have listed more detailed system specs on PCF-BSD's mailing lists at 
 http://lists.pcbsd.org/pipermail/testing/2009-December/003167.html . 
 This bug ( for rather common nvidia and Acer hardware that has been on 
 the market for ages ) is now 16 months old. Is there some hope of a fix? 
 Should I  just install Linux over the partition in question? By the way 
 Linux has no problem with my hardware - each and every version I have 
 thrown it's way for the last two years. Do you people actually get users 
 outside of your own small tech community to test the OS ? Not many 
 people use FreeBSD and the answer is not quite as condescendingly simple 
 as you might wish for. The answer is simply that FreeBSD has vile, 
 bottom of the barrel hardware support.
