So... the BSD laptop is working much better now. Ive found that the system is more stable and fails less if: leave a battery in the laptop, even while plugged in leave the bottom cover of the docking station off (network works more ofthen this way...) I edited /etc/boot.conf with mg, to add memory, but it didnt see it for some reason... but When I removed the boot conf, and echoed the mem command to the boot.conf, it works at boot time... go figure.
I want xosveiw to load up, at 0,55 and have no controlls (ie no titlebar, not resize, ...) I can get it to load up right, except for the position. Ive been editing my WindowMaker Window attriblute, but cant see to position the window where I want it! Ive tried xosview -geometry 0,55 and many variants, but it still comes up where I dont want it!! How can I get this to be where I want it?? The system has been fairly stable, with one exception. Sometimes when it falls asleap, it doesnt wake up!! my guess is its something to do with the apm.. but what? It seems to manually sleep and wake up (with the sleep button) ok but sometimes it just doesnt want to wake up (and none of the buttons work... gotta unplug it, and power up... ugly huh... All in all OpenBSD seems ok.... I wish I had a bigger disk so I could do more stuff though.... I may write some scripts to pkg_add apps and pgk_del apps for different situations. so I can have a couple profiles, one say for doing graphics stuff, and another for doing network stuff...since it wont all fit on the hard disk at one time... any suggestions?
