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.

Acer Aspire One

- OpenBSD 4.4-current works (January, 2009).
Some bsd.rd kernels may spam message like "pckbcintr: no dev for slot 1"
making it hard to type, but the live kernel does not give these.
- Should run with GENERIC.MP; the Atom 270 CPU is "dual threaded" and
appears as a dual-core CPU.
- X works out of the box with no config file
(Intel 82945GME Video, 1024x600). External monitor works if connected
when X starts up; changes resolution to 1024x768 to synch with most
external monitors.
- Touchpad and both buttons work.
Fn+F7 disables touchpad for use with USB mouse, as indicated on keytop.
- Built-in "SuYin Acer Crystal Eye webcam" works fine but only
supports YUV format; use
luvcview -f yuv ...
- Wired networking works.
Wireless does not; recognized as ath0
but does not connect, strange initialization errors.
- "Storage Extension" and card reader slots not configured
unless there's a card in at boot time.

Must boot MP kernel or boot -c and disable acpi, due to ACPI issues

or using a custom kernel
- X works out of the box.
- Wireless card works as bwi(4).
- Sound works, sort of: the chipset seems to be stuck at 48KHz whereas
most software expects to be able to set it to 44.1 KHz (so sound

zzz(8), closing the lid, or Fn-Esc), but it won't wake up properly (I
get a flashing _ cursor) ... so, I have to hold down the power button
for a few seconds, reboot, and fsck.

Lenovo ThinkPad Z60m (2529-FBG)

- OpenBSD 3.9-current (Jun 16, 2006) works.

- Wireless Intel 2915 ABG (iwi(4)) works after downloading the
firmware.
- X works without config.
- aps(4) works.
- SpeedStep works.
- Audio works.
I believe this is the first ThinkPad that Lenovo made. Little things
have me worried that this might be an end of the ThinkPad quality.
Like the lack of APM support and the addition of Windows keys.
Also the keyboard feels a little bit cheaper than my R40 but still
it feels like a ThinkPad.
The screen is better than the other ThinkPads I have seen.

Sony VAIO PCG-FX602

- OpenBSD 3.7 works.
- Audio does not work: you have to disable auvia* in GENERIC
after installation.
- APM, USB and PCMCIA work fine.
- X.org runs out of the box, so no xorg.conf file supplied
- Custom hack for hw.setperf:
- I run additionally a
utility
I wrote to control this value automatically depending on cpu-load.
It is based on Laurie Tratts' perfd.
Just unpack and run make && sudo make install.
This way you are able to sustain Battery life up to 2 1/2 - 3 hours.
And the fan stops to run permanently.

Toshiba Tecra 520CDT

- OpenBSD 3.8 works.
- Graphics card (ct65555) works fine with X.org.
- PCMCIA tested with EtherPrime network card.
- USB with ASUS CD-RW works.
- Sound card (Yamaha OPL3-SA3): exactly the same things as with
the Toshiba Tecra 8000 must be done (disable sb, change wss IRQ to 5
and make sure drq matches BIOS settings). But even after that the
output volume cannot be set (no outputs.* fields at all exist).
This problem is mentioned in the ym(4) manual. If you disable wss and
enable the sb driver instead, volume can be set between 0-128, but
play.rate, play.encoding etc. cannot be altered.
