[indiana-discuss] Indiana on HP 2133 Mininote?

[Clay Baenziger]

Hi Wayne,
	I have an OQO Model 2 I've run Indiana DP2 on. My only complaint
is the VIA VX700 graphics have to use the VESA driver which I don't think
does wide screen formats (the OQO has an 800x600 display, but 640x480
isn't bad on it) -- at least I can't seem to get it to. Otherwise, it's
1.5GHz C7M is pretty snappy for a very low power machine.
	My understanding is any Broadcom wireless will need an NDIS
wrapper to work under Solaris. (I recently acquired a number of Intel 4965
cards to replace Broadcom cards in my group for this reason.)
	If the camera follows the USB Video class specification Solaris
should have no problem supporting it, otherwise, I think the odds are
low-ish.
								Thank you,
								Clay
P.S.
Please make sure to enter your machine into the Solaris HCL (hardware
compatibility list) too!
