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.

Compaq Presario R4035
|
- OpenBSD 3.9-current (July 2006) works in both i386 and amd64 mode.
CardBus works. X works out of the box.
- To make CardBus work on i386, you need to update the BIOS; failing that,
change PCIBIOS to "flags 1" using UKC (see boot_config(8))
or using a custom kernel
- Wireless card does not work (BroadCom 43xx chipset) and may never.
- 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
comes out at slightly wrong speed).
- The SD host controller (sdhc(4)) memory slot does not work yet.

OpenBSD on it and boot from it
- Pressing "Fn" and uparrow/downarrow keys to configure brightness
works, as well as switching to external VGA
- For getting the Intel ipw2100 wireless card to work,
use
Damien Bergamini's firmware package.
- There was (expected) trouble with the screen resolution in X.
Using

it goes to 1400x1050 as wanted by adding the line:

Dell Latitude c400

- OpenBSD 3.8-current (Nov 9, 2005) works.
- All hardware (including wi(4), sound, X at 1024x768/24bit) works.
- Suspend sort of works: the system will go to sleep (either by
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.
- For some reason, unless specifically told, X will default to a
lower resolution. Ctrl-Alt-Backspace kicks it into gear.
Hardcoding 1024x768 into xorg.conf fixes it for good though.

However, non-IBM supplied cards can be used after running the

default of SpeedStep enabled.

- 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.

MSI Megabook S270

- OpenBSD 4.0 works both in i386 and amd64
modes.

BIOS
6.70 is needed to fix an interrupt routing problem.
- APM doesn't work.
- X.Org 6.9.0 works on the LCD panel at 1280x800 out of the box

connected before starting X.

NEC Lavie C LC600J/5
|
- OpenBSD 3.7-current (Apr 26, 2005) works.
- APM, PCMCIA and USB work.
- This machine's BIOS uses Ctrl+Alt+F5 as a hotkey to hibernate.
So I have to specify a swapctrlcaps variant in /etc/kbdtype.
- No separate xorg.conf needed, getconfig works like magic.

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 A2
|
- OpenBSD 3.7-current (June 1, 2005) just works.
- Built in iwi 2200b/g worked after finding firmware.
- Sound, PCMCIA and X.org work perfectly.
- usb tested with ipod shuffle, usb mouse and memory stick.
- The only problem occurs _sometimes_ when using "reboot" from X.
which causes a kernel panic when it tries to boot. Doing a hard power
off, then back on does not cause any problem.

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.

Damien Bergamini's ipw page.
