Lenovo X121e, UMTS, WLAN, X11...

[Kurt Jaeger]

Hi!

I got the new Lenovo X121e model (intel cpu version) to play with...

I'm running freebsd 9.0-beta1 on it. fbsd 8.2 did not detect the alc0
ethernet connection.

X11 works in vesa (1024x768).
- The touchpad is annoying (does anyone know how to deactivate it?)
- The resolution of the device is nominally 1366 x 768,
  but I'm not sure how to activate that...

The system has a built-in Ericsson F5521gw UMTS/GPS card.

- Serial communication with /dev/cuaU0, 1 or 2 seems to work,
  but neither gpsd can get data out of it nor does it accept a PIN
  via
  AT+CPIN=xxxx
- If someone knows how to get this running, I would appreciate any hint.
- During boot, it says:

- The system also has a broadcom wireless ethernet:

    class      = network

If someone else has that laptop as well, I'd be interested in exchanging
ideas 8-)
