is horribly out of date. let's get it up to scratch. to get this
started, we'll need YOUR help. if you have a laptop that is working or not working with openbsd,
please email me with your info, any tweaks that were necessary, what
works and what doesn't.
and even better, if you have a webpage describing this and/or how to
set it up, include that as well.
it would be great if we could have an up to date laptop database
before 3.6."
This applies to all laptops, not just i386. Email the info to marius at monkey org

Information like this is completely useless unless it is regularly maintained. So, is this just going to be another case of getting it up to date, then abandoning it for years, to gather dust, or is it actually going to be maintained this time?

As for how long will he be willing to maintain the new page, I can't tell. Let's hope he'll do a terrific job.

Doing some research I found openbsd-mobile at monkey.org and sent that report to dugsong. After a while I got reply and my report was included in the page.
The info at monkey was valuable, but... It's not offical and there are too much 404 links actually.
A laptop compatibility database is a good idea, but a static page is not useful if the maintainer doesn't keep it updated.
I tried to install 3.5 and remove my 3.3... and something is broken on 3.5-RELEASE on laptops. An advice on lap compatibility... oh, I still remember my headache :(
Good luck Marius!

- Kernel panic when APM device enabled (do boot -c and "disable apm" when installing)
- Everything else is very standard, works perfectly fine. I'm also able to use 1600x1200 on the built-in LCD (yeah, not too common on laptops!).

it'd be good to be able to retrieve all the details from a database including X config files, dmesg, and other tips and tricks for each laptop. just a thought.
