All your laptops are belong to Windows.

There is a LOT of work being done by FreeBSD users on
this hardware. The problem is with the nVidia chipset
on the HP and Compaq laptops that use it. For reasons
that would take too much time to explain, all the work
is being done and discussed in the freebsd-amd64
mailing list. You ought to try looking through the
archives in that mailing list and if you feel
adventurous, try implementing some of the patches
right now. I suspect that FreeBSD will install
smoothly on that architecture in the near future.

The guys hacking out the patches have very little good
to say about these computers but they are nevertheless
giving it a lot of attention.

I'm happy about that since my patience caused me to
run out of time to return mine to HP. I am eager to
see what results from all the patching.
