+ Medion MD6100 (model no. FID2040)
+ |
+
+ - OpenBSD 3.7-current (April 2005) works.
+
- ACPI-only machine, no APM support.
+
- sis0 has certain issues, see postings
+ [1],
+ [2], and
+ [3].
+
- infrared does not work under OpenBSD.
+
- sound is erratic, two out of three times.
+
- USB2.0 doesn't work (pci_intr_map: no mapping for pin D).
+
- To use the onboard NIC, make sure the interface is in Promiscuous
+ mode. I use `tcpdump -i sis0 -w /dev/null` to accomplish this. For
+ normal operation I add a (wireless) PCMCIA NIC.
+ Audio programs (mplayer/mpg123/ogg123/xmms/etc) simply should be
+ restarted once or twice to get proper audio.
+
+ Overall, this laptop stinks. It's heavy, powerhungry and gets very hot
+ (too hot, often it will shut itself down to prevent meltdown).
+ A lot of hardware works only mediocre. The battery doesn't last long.
+ It's huge/bulky. It's *extremely* noisy. But, it *does* run OpenBSD.
+ And, when properly cooled, it's pretty fast (2.6 GHz). Why anyone
+ would need that much CPU in a laptop is beyond me, but it's there.
+
