PC-BSD 1.3 is based on the release of FreeBSD 6.1. Therefore, everything covered in this page, will apply to any FreeBSD 6.1 installation. My goal for this wiki is to create a centralized reference page for IBM Thinkpad Z60m (and possibly other thinkpads) hardware configuration. I will try to provide the external links to the software required as well as local copies of the files.
Audio Card

If it comes with the: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) High Definition Audio Controller then you will need to use a generic driver that was written by: Stephane E. Potvin

• Download the driver here hdac.tgz or locally at hdac.tgz

Verify the FreeBSD kernel sources are installed:

# ls /usr/src/sys/

Next, compile and load the driver:

# tar xvfz hdac.tgz
# cd hdac
# make
# cp hdac.ko /boot/kernel/
# kldload hdac

To check if the driver was loaded successfully:

# cat /dev/sndstat
FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm)
Installed devices:
pcm0: <Generic High Definition Audio Controller> w00t (1p/0r/0v channels default)
#

I ordered mine with the MATSHITADVD-RAM UJ-830Sx/1.00 DVD-RW. It’s GREAT and works wonderful under PC-BSD without any changes. Some permissions and tweaking might be required under FreeBSD

Wired: Broadcom BCM5751M Gigabit Ethernet

Use the if_bge driver.

Wireless: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2915ABG

Use the if_iwi driver.

Download and install the firmware. The firmware is a program executed by the adapter itself (not by the host CPU!). The adapter can’t do anything before it has received its firmware. For licensing reasons, the firmware images are not shipped with the iwi driver. They are made available in ports and binary packages. The port was created by Florent Thoumie.

# cd /usr/ports/net/iwi-firmware/
# make install clean

ATI Radeon X300 / X600
Edit /etc/X11/XF86Config to remove the DRI support since it will conflict with the ATI Radeon driver. If this is not removed, it will cause X to freeze on a blank screen, and the only way to fix it is to perform a hard reboot (very bad).

Section "Module"
  #Load  "dri"
  Load  "dbe"
  Load  "extmod"
  Load  "record"
  Load  "xtrap"
  Load  "freetype"
  Load  "type1"
  Load  "glx"
EndSection'

After this, specifiy in the same file /etc/X11/XF86Config to load the “radeon” driver:

Section "Device"
  Identifier  "Card0"
  VendorName  "ATI Technologies Inc"
  Driver      "radeon"
EndSection

This is pretty much it. Unfortunately, there is no 3D Accelerated support for ATI as of this writing, and I have done my share of research on this topic. Reason for this is that ATI does not provide the drivers. If this changes please someone update this section.

This is the output from the FreeBSD scanpci utility. If anybody wishes to see a verbose output let me know.
