If your laptop isn't listed below doesn't mean that it won't work,
and you will most likely find a similar model that is listed below.
Most laptops work very well, however some will still have minor issues.

IBM Thinkpad T23 model 26478NU.
|
- Works fine with OpenBSD 3.7-current (April 2005).
- If using a boot floppy the system may hang when probing ahc.
Workaround: boot with -c and disable ahc.
A GENERIC kernel does not have this issue.
- Serial ports must be enabled in BIOS.
- "ctrl:nocaps" in X puts the control key in a proper location
- Apm mostly works -- suspends OK
- Hibernation not tested, but should work with
/usr/ports/sysutils/tphdisk from the ports collection.
- The audio chipset is supported (auich).
- See http://www.snafu.org/t23/
for more info.

IBM Thinkpad X40

- OpenBSD 3.7 works fine.
- SD Card Slot is not presently supported.
- The built-in "Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG" works only with additional
firmware. See
iwi(4)
for more information.
- The use of other 802.11 cards may be restricted by the BIOS.
However, non-IBM supplied cards can be used after running the
/usr/ports/misc/tpwireless utility.
- APM works fine, including suspend to hard-disk (hibernation)
- If you want to use Hibernation, you must have a small
msdos partition with a save2dsk.bin. For this, you can use
/usr/ports/sysutils/tphdisk.
- Perhaps one of the best supported notebooks because several
developers also use it.

JVC MP-XP 7250DE
|
- OpenBSD 3.6-current (October 2004) works.
- Everything works fine except APM and the built-in
SD card reader.
- Since OpenBSD 3.4 the boot loader does not boot correctly from
USB CDROM on this machine -- workaround: take 3.3 and upgrade or
boot via network or PCMCIA floppy.
- The audio chipset is supported. Wireless 802.11b PRISM 2.5 (USB)
is supported, too.

- OpenBSD 3.6 works, but there are some minor issues.
- USB and built-in sound (Yamaha) work just fine.
- My 3com Megahertz Cardbus LAN Card
xl(4)
works ok.
- Jog Dial and the mini camera were useless to me, so I never
tested them.
- While the GENERIC Kernel works fine, the installation ramdisk
kernel hangs on booting since OpenBSD 3.3 or so. Disabling the
cardslot and PCMCIA subsystem in UKC before booting makes the ramdisk
come up, too. But then you have to install from images you left on
the hard disk before (e. g. in a discardable filesystem in the
partition you want to use for swapping later), because you can't
access LAN or WLAN without the cardslot.
- Removing cards from the PCMCIA/Cardbus slot on a running
system may cause system freeze or instant reboot sometimes.
- My D-Link DWL-650 (PrismII) works for some time, but then
locks up and has to be reinserted to work again. This, however,
causes the problems mentioned above.
- APM works partly: "halt -p" switches off the machine, but
sometimes, you can't wake up from "zzz".

Toshiba Satellite 2410S
|
- It's running OpenBSD 3.7-current (April 2005).
- All stuff are working fine (graphics, sound, PCMCIA, APM,
ethernet), except infrared and the built-in SD card reader.
- There's a bug with certain toshiba laptops and XFree/X.org. Ratio is
too quick, and some chars are repeated. To avoid that, disable
X's
kbd handling, and load a modmap with xmodmap if needed.
