1.1 deraadt 19:
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.
1.191 aanriot 35: <li>Some other built-in devices don'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
1.189 steven 47: ports collection.
1.184 grunk 48: The hibernation partition requires to be a MS-DOS partition at
49: the beginning of the harddisk. This partition can be of type
50: 16 bit FAT or FAT32 (as such it is possible that a Windows install
51: lives in this partition).
52: <li>IBM Thinkpads with mini-PCI slots will check PCI IDs against a
1.115 nick 53: built-in list of "allowed" devices, and thus will not work with
54: third-party cards. This behavior can be changed by using the
55: <tt>/usr/ports/misc/tpwireless</tt> utility from ports BEFORE
56: inserting the third-party card. This utility sets a "magic bit"
57: in the BIOS to disable this check.
1.200 steven 58: <li>In order to get the full native resolution of the LCD screen on some
59: laptops, Intel i8x5/i9x5 chipsets can be adjusted using the
60: <tt>x11/915resolution</tt> package. This software changes the
61: resolution of an available vbios mode. It patches only the RAM
62: version of the video bios, so the new resolution is lost upon
63: rebooting.<br>
1.216 steven 64: Note that the 915resolution port is only available since 4.0, and
1.200 steven 65: that it supersedes 855resolution, which is still mentioned in a number
66: of entries below.

92: is always on. Rebooting from Windows after setting up stuff doesn't

376: <li>All hardware (including iwi(4), sound, X at 1024x768/24bit) works.
1.128 grunk 377: <li>Suspend sort of works: the system will go to sleep (either by
378: zzz(8), closing the lid, or Fn-Esc), but it won't wake up properly (I
379: get a flashing _ cursor) ... so, I have to hold down the power button
380: for a few seconds, reboot, and fsck.
381: <li>For some reason, unless specifically told, X will default to a
382: lower resolution. Ctrl-Alt-Backspace kicks it into gear.
383: Hardcoding 1024x768 into xorg.conf fixes it for good though.
