That is funny you mention that because i do have a lcd screen attached to
serial com1, in Gnu/linux I used lcd4linux and it never worked very good, I
had to run it with the -F option. I have also had problems with lcdproc,
once in a while it would just go blank, or take forever to initalize. A long
long time ago it worked fine under Windows, but that was very long ago.

Ok I thought I would try every option I had access to I might go ahead and
take the hw line out of my loader.conf file. Since this is a desktop, it
runs 24/7 I really do not need any suspend, or power saving modes.

I do notice a slowdown in the mouse after a long time away from the desktop,
I also noticed a little slowdown when using rar to extract an archive.  But
that might be due to the kernel, Gnu/linux vs Freebsd kernel. After all I am
running 1.2 MP's which is old anyway. It does make a good file server, and a
print server.
