out-of-box opensolaris on IBM X60
Tested b77.
The good things,
1. overall it works fine.
2. centrino duo detected as 2 cpu instances (prtconf)
3. hvm shows up (xm info | grep caps, after I update BIOS and enabled VT in it)
4. battery status is there, just need to add applet to panel.
5. ethernet card works, e1000g0
6. wireless works, wpi0 (ifconfig wpi0 dhcp, from console, Administration/Network if from GNOME).
Needs improve,
1. xVM conflict with intel driver, have to change to "vesa" in order to work with xVM
2. sound card is not working.
3. power management, although powerd is running, keyboard is quite hot. Haven't found way to make it slow down.
4. it will be good if there's updates for some common applications (firefox, thunderbird ...) on the net.
