I've got a Mobility HD2400 in a Toshiba here that I can try to test. 
It may take a while to try.

Which brings me to a suggestion for future early tests like this: how 
about a bootable live CD image to reduce the overhead?

Right now, I've got to find a blank hard drive with the right interface 
and enough space to install FreeBSD.  Then update it, install ports, 
update ports, install the test patches, rebuild ports...

...and only then can the testing start.  A live CD with all that 
time-consuming stuff already done would make testing much quicker and 
easier.  The easier process might also make for more testers.
