1.92 nick 20: <p> This is a list of laptops known to be working with OpenBSD.
1.1 deraadt 21:
1.92 nick 22: <p> If your laptop isn't listed below doesn't mean that it won't work,
1.95 nick 23: and you will most likely find a similar model that is listed below.
24: Most laptops work very well, however some will still have minor issues.
1.92 nick 25:
26: <p> Of those that have problems,
1.1 deraadt 27: <ul>
1.5 deraadt 28: <li>Some exhibit problems with APM support. Note that <strong>apm -S</strong>
1.95 nick 29: fails to suspend some laptops.
1.38 deraadt 30: <li>Some lack sound support
1.84 mickey 31: <li>A few have subtle bugs with their PCMCIA and CardBus support
1.116 grunk 32: <li>There is currently neither Firewire nor ACPI support in OpenBSD
1.92 nick 33: <li>XFree86/X.org does not support some displays properly. Sometimes
1.94 nick 34: switching between both of them helps.
1.95 nick 35: <li>Some other built-in device doesn't work.
1.1 deraadt 36: <li>Some have problems with pcmcia card eject interrupts.
1.95 nick 37: <li>Almost all modern laptops with on-board modems have "winmodems",
38: which are not currently and are unlikely to ever be supported.
1.104 nick 39: Use a PCCard modem if you need one that works. You can
1.95 nick 40: assume any modem on the machines below does NOT work unless
41: indicated.
1.101 nick 42: <li>IBM Thinkpads (and perhaps other notebooks, too) with Phoenix-style
43: BIOSes offer a so-called "hibernation mode", where memory is
44: written to disk. You can use this feature with OpenBSD.
45: Generate the partition for hibernation using the
46: <tt>/usr/ports/sysutils/tphdisk</tt> utility from the
47: ports collection.
1.115 nick 48: <li>IBM Thinkpads with mini-PCI slots will check PCI IDs against a
49: built-in list of "allowed" devices, and thus will not work with
50: third-party cards. This behavior can be changed by using the
51: <tt>/usr/ports/misc/tpwireless</tt> utility from ports BEFORE
52: inserting the third-party card. This utility sets a "magic bit"
53: in the BIOS to disable this check.

1.97 nick 276: <li>The keys for mute, volume up and volume down are working fine.
1.94 nick 277: No special software is required. If you'd like to get the big

279: can install tpb from ports. (/usr/ports/sysutils/tpb) This works just

380: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=xl">xl(4)</a>
381: works ok.
1.89 nick 382: <li>Jog Dial and the mini camera were useless to me, so I never
383: tested them.
384: <li>While the GENERIC Kernel works fine, the installation ramdisk
385: kernel hangs on booting since OpenBSD 3.3 or so. Disabling the
386: cardslot and PCMCIA subsystem in UKC before booting makes the ramdisk
387: come up, too. But then you have to install from images you left on
388: the hard disk before (e. g. in a discardable filesystem in the
389: partition you want to use for swapping later), because you can't
390: access LAN or WLAN without the cardslot.
391: <li>Removing cards from the PCMCIA/Cardbus slot on a running
392: system may cause system freeze or instant reboot sometimes.
393: <li>My D-Link DWL-650 (PrismII) works for some time, but then
394: locks up and has to be reinserted to work again. This, however,
395: causes the problems mentioned above.
396: <li>APM works partly: "<b>halt -p</b>" switches off the machine, but
397: sometimes, you can't wake up from "<b>zzz</b>".

424: <li>OpenBSD 3.6-current (as of August 2004) runs. Installation is
425: cumbersome, though. The Sony CD drive does not boot the snapshot CD.
426: <li>Installation by USB floppy:
427: The floppy36.fs of the snapshot (august 2004)
428: can be brought to boot if one disables the
429: following (boot -c, wait for the UKC> prompt):
430: <pre>
431: disable pcibios
432: disable fxp
433: disable pcic
434: </pre>
435: <li>After this there is no USB, no PCMCIA, no Cardbus
436: and no network. This means that the laptop has
437: no input/output! So you have to put the install sets
438: on a partition from some other OS or earlier installations
439: of OpenBSD. The install script can mount ffs and msdos
440: partitions. The kernel as supplied with the snapshot
441: boots alright and recognizes all the relevant hardware
442: (no firewire, no memorystick, no JogDial).
443: <li>Sound (yds) works. The XFConfig from the OpenBSD install
444: works without modification.

474: Very nice laptop indeed. Quiet, boots very fast, most hardware is
