I did a CVSup about 4 hours ago, still have fxp0 timeouts on my T30.

Sound works fine on mine. I have the following additions from GENERIC:

# APM works on the T30, but ACPI doesn't yet
device		apm
# For PnP/PCI sound cards
device		pcm

I've gotten everything working under ACPI except the battery life indicator.
Since I kind of need that, I went back to APM.  My /boot/device.hints
has the following changes:

: || tylendel.castle.org [29] ; diff device.hints device.hints.orig 
36c36
< hint.apm.0.disabled="0"               # Mail/FreeBSD/59
---
> hint.apm.0.disabled="1"

< #hw.acpi.ec.event_driven="1"  # Mail/FreeBSD/21
< hint.acpi.0.disabled="1"      # Mail/FreeBSD/44
---
> hw.acpi.ec.event_driven="1"   # Mail/FreeBSD/23

I didn't need it.  Hmm.

I'll have to give that a try.  Maybe that's my problem with fxp?  You
never know.
