I'm looking for a laptop that will run -current without too much
fiddling. Currently considering a Thinkpad T410 or T420 -- anyone who
has one want to share how well it works? Have recent changes fixed
problems[1] with the console after starting X?
Hi Ian,
switching to console does not work for me with -current on my T420.
Everything else is works fine for me. I am not using the sound card nor
the video camera. Besides that, X is running stable and I had not a
single problem with it - no special configuration nessecary. The
wireless chip requires the firmware package described in the openbsd
manuals.
For a quick overview, here is my dmesg:

I'd be interested in hearing about success stories with other Core i5
or i7 laptops as well. (I know I should be avoiding configurations
with nvidia video.)
Thanks,
