! 20: This is a list of laptops known to be working with OpenBSD 2.6.
! 21:
! 22: <p>
! 23: If your laptop isn't listed below that doesn't mean that it isn't working,
! 24: and you will most likely find a similar model that is listed below. As of
! 25: OpenBSD 2.6, we know of no laptops that do not work minimally. Of those that
! 26: have problems..
! 27: <ul>
! 28: <li>Some exhibit problems with APM support
! 29: <li>Many lack sound support
! 30: <li>A few have subtle bugs with their PCMCIA support
! 31: <li>XFree86 does not support their displays properly
! 32: <li>Or some other built-in device doesn't work..
! 33: <li>Cardbus is not supported at all. However, pcmcia works fine.
! 34: <li>Some have problems with pcmcia card eject interrupts.
! 35: </ul>
! 36:
! 37: <p>
! 38: If you have your laptop working (or not working) and it isn't listed below,
! 39: please mail <a href="mailto:deraadt@openbsd.org">deraadt@openbsd.org</a> so that it
! 40: can be listed. Please supply as much information as possible.
! 41:
! 42: <p>
! 43: APM problem reports should be sent to our APM developers,
! 44: <a href=mailto:mickey@openbsd.org>Michael Shalayeff</a> and
! 45: <a href=mailto:weingart@openbsd.org>Tobias Weingartner</a>.

! 57: APM support: "<strong>zzz</strong>", suspend via keyboard, hibernation
! 58: via keyboard, and "<strong>halt -p</strong>" all work.
! 59: "<strong>apm -S</strong>" wakes up immediately.<p>
! 60:
! 61: Hibernation uses a block at the end of the disk, approximately
! 62: 3-5MB larger than the memory in your machine. To repair hibernation,
! 63: use "<strong>phdisk.exe /create /partition</strong>" to setup the
! 64: partition. The phdisk program is available on the boot
! 65: floppy image provided on the first recovery CD.<p>
! 66:
! 67: Built-in ethernet works fine, but requires reset after suspend using
! 68: "<strong>ifconfig fxp0 down; ifconfig fxp0 up</strong>".<p>
! 69:
! 70: After a suspend, the profiling clock is not running. Patches are
! 71: being worked on.<p>
! 72:
! 73: Sound is not supported.<p>
! 74:
! 75: When the memory stick slot is empty, it can cause errors which overflow
! 76: the dmesg buffer, and thus confuse the OpenBSD install program.
! 77: The BIOS Setup, (accessed using F2), has an option to disable the
! 78: memory stick.<p>
