1.53 ian 22: If your laptop isn't listed below that doesn't mean that it won't work,
1.38 deraadt 23: and you will most likely find a similar model that is listed below. Starting
24: with OpenBSD 2.6, almost all laptops worked very well, with only minimal
1.45 chris 25: issues remaining. Later OpenBSD releases perform even better.
1.38 deraadt 26: <p>
27: Of those that have problems..
1.1 deraadt 28: <ul>
1.5 deraadt 29: <li>Some exhibit problems with APM support. Note that <strong>apm -S</strong>
30: fails to suspend some laptops, but this is not a major concern.
1.38 deraadt 31: <li>Some lack sound support
32: <li>A few have subtle bugs with their PCMCIA and Cardbus support
33: <li>XFree86 does not support some displays properly. Sometimes XFree86 4.x helps.
1.1 deraadt 34: <li>Or some other built-in device doesn't work..
35: <li>Some have problems with pcmcia card eject interrupts.
36: </ul>
37:
38: <p>
39: If you have your laptop working (or not working) and it isn't listed below,
1.45 chris 40: please mail <a href="mailto:www@openbsd.org">www@openbsd.org</a> so that it
1.1 deraadt 41: can be listed. Please supply as much information as possible.
42:
43: <p>
44: APM problem reports should be sent to our APM developers,
45: <a href=mailto:mickey@openbsd.org>Michael Shalayeff</a> and

1.1 deraadt 196:
1.39 angelos 197: <p>This laptop does not really have a BIOS; most of the device
1.48 jufi 198: settings, like IRQ assignments etc. have to be done through
1.39 angelos 199: Windows.</p>
200:
201: <p>You can get the serial and infrared ports to be recognized
202: as com* devices by playing with the IRQ assignments in
203: Windows. Likewise for the parallel port (it's lpt2).</p>
204:
205: <p>You will need this line in your kernel configuration file for
206: APM to work at all:</p>
207:
208: <pre>
209: option APM_DISABLE_INTERRUPTS=0
210: </pre>
211:
212: <p>Hibernation (save to disk) works fine as long as you have a
213: Windows partition with enough disk space (a bit more than the
214: system memory). Suspend/resume/powerdown all work fine;
215: however, doing hibernation while in X windows (tested in
216: XFree86 3.3.6) causes framebuffer corruption and it seems that
217: the only way to recover is to exit and restart the X server;
218: switching virtual terminals doesn't fix it. It has been
219: suggested that switching between different resolutions might
220: fix it. XFree86 4.0 fixes that problem, but last I checked did
221: not have accelerated support for the driver. The best
222: work-around is to switch to text mode before hibernating.</p>
223:
224: <p>If you enable the external monitor (Fn+F7), XFree86 3.3.6
225: goes into some weird rainbow pattern and eventually freezes
226: the system (unless you switch to text mode or otherwise kill
227: the server within a few seconds); if you switch to text mode,
228: you have to kill the X server (switching back to graphics mode
229: will cause a crash). Enabling the external monitor while in
230: video mode causes no side effects; you can then start X or
231: switch to it if it's already running.</p>
232:
1.50 horacio 233: <p>The <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=clcs&sektion=4">clcs(4)</a> driver is somewhat flakey, so you're best off
1.39 angelos 234: disabling it. It doesn't really matter though since the
1.50 horacio 235: soundblaster (<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sb&sektion=4%2fi386&apropos=0&manpath=OpenBSD+Curren&arch=i386">sb(4)</a>) will attach and work fine. You may have to play with IRQ assignments
236: to get that to work.</p>

280: <p>To get it to see the serial and infrared ports (both as com*
281: devices), you need to play with the IRQ assignments in the
282: BIOS; just set them to the default values as found in the
283: GENERIC config file. Likewise for the parallel port (OpenBSD
284: can see lpt2). You may have to play with the Windows
285: assignments for this as well.</p>
286:
1.44 angelos 287: <p>There's at least two miniPCI cards available at this point:
288: one is an (unsupported) WinModem, and the other is a combo
289: ethernet/modem card. The ethernet works just fine (detected
290: as an fxp/inphy card); the modem looks like it's a real one,
291: but it's not yet supported.</p>
1.39 angelos 292:
293: <p>Sound (CS4614) works fine. To avoid system freeze when using
1.44 angelos 294: Cardbus and audio simultaneously, you *may* need to set at least
295: two IRQs for use by PCI devices, in the BIOS; I use 9 and 11. It
296: is also necessary to turn off PCI Power Management in the BIOS
297: Power configuration (that's the only menu that scrolls, so make
298: sure you go to the bottom of the page :-)</p>
1.39 angelos 299:
1.41 angelos 300: <p>APM works except for hibernation (requires OS support). To
301: get "halt -p" to work, you must set the sysctl variable
302: machdep.apmhalt to 1 (you need OpenBSD 2.8-current with
303: sources from mid-January, or later). You will need this line
304: in your kernel configuration file for APM to work at all:</p>
1.39 angelos 305:
306: <pre>
307: option APM_DISABLE_INTERRUPTS=0
308: </pre>
309:
310: <p>Although the video card is supposed to work with XFree86
311: 3.3.6pl8, I've only managed to get it to work with XFree86
312: 4.0.1 with the patches found <a
313: href="http://www.probo.com/timr/savagemx.html">here</a> (you
314: can also find binaries of the driver for OpenBSD 2.8 at the
1.40 angelos 315: same location). You need to have a kernel with "option
1.39 angelos 316: INSECURE" and set the securelevel to -1 in /etc/rc.securelevel
317: (so the X server can open /dev/mem and mmap() the BIOS). In
1.46 angelos 318: this configuration, it can do 1400x1050 at 16bpp (version 1.1.13
319: of the savage driver works fine at 24bpp as well).</p>
1.39 angelos 320:
1.41 angelos 321: <p><b>UPDATE:</b> The above-mentioned patches have been
322: included in XFree86 4.0.2, and work out of the box. You don'
323: need a kernel with the option INSECURE set, just set the
1.40 angelos 324: machdep.allowaperture sysctl variable to 2, typically in
325: /etc/sysctl.conf, if you have an OpenBSD 2.8 (or later) built
326: from sources updated after December 15th 2000.</p>
327:
1.39 angelos 328: <p>Note that some models only do 1024x768. Those that do
329: 1400x1050, can also do 1600x1200 using a virtual screen
330: (wherein the whole display shifts as you go "off-screen"); I
331: have not tested whether that works (it does in Windows).</p>
332:
333: <p>If you close the lid of the laptop, the system suspends;
334: under XFree86 4.0, resuming works fine with respect to the
335: display (XFree86 3.3.6 might not be able to cope with this --
336: it couldn't on the ThinkPad 770Z).</p>

1.40 angelos 346: <p>One annoying thing is when you take out one of the UltraBay
347: 2000 devices; the system starts beeping. The only way to make it
348: stop is to suspend and then plug in a device in the UltraBay (not
349: necessarily the same one). Note that hot-swap of UltraBay 2000
350: devices is not currently supported in OpenBSD (as of 2.8), thus
351: it's only safe to hot-swap batteries.</p>

540: APM works but you need to be careful not to use the last
541: 32meg or so of the disk since that's where the BIOS dumps
542: the long time hibernation image. You can take a look at
543: the bios geometry in disklabel to see exactly how many sectors
544: it wants. Failure to do so will cause filesystem corruption
545: during suspend.

551: in the kernel.
1.11 millert 552: The pcmcia external floppy drive is not currently supported
553: by OpenBSD, but it can be used during the install.
554: <p>
555: Installation can be a bit tricky with only a single pcmcia
556: slot. The best way to do this is to do a network install.
557: To do this, load the boot floppy and at the boot prompt,
558: enter <em>boot -c</em>. When you see the <em>UKC</em>
559: prompt, unplug the floppy drive, plug in your network card,
560: and then type exit. The kernel will then probe the network
561: card and you should be able to do a normal network install.
562: You may find it necessary to disable the sound devices in
563: the BIOS in order for the boot floppy to correctly detect
564: your network card.
