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.
