Dear Mailing Listeners,

Let me know, please, whether it makes sense to modify disk geometry
for solid state disks? Which meaning have the default values of cylinders,
heads, and sectors for these devices? As an example, here are my sd1 data:

# fdisk sd1
Disk: sd1       geometry: 7783/255/63 [125045424 Sectors]
Offset: 0       Signature: 0xAA55
            Starting         Ending         LBA Info:
 #: id      C   H   S -      C   H   S [       start:        size ]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 0: 00      0   0   0 -      0   0   0 [           0:           0 ] unused
 1: 00      0   0   0 -      0   0   0 [           0:           0 ] unused
 2: 00      0   0   0 -      0   0   0 [           0:           0 ] unused
*3: A6      0   1   2 -   7782 254  63 [          64:   125033831 ] OpenBSD

Are there any disktab entries available more suitable for usual models
of solid state disks? At least it seemed reasonable to me to take multiples
of 64 blocks for the partition sizes and offsets:

# disklabel sd1
# /dev/rsd1c:
type: SCSI
disk: SCSI disk
label: SSDSA2SH064G1GC
duid: 78faa8282eb6f8fa
flags:
bytes/sector: 512
sectors/track: 63
tracks/cylinder: 255
sectors/cylinder: 16065
cylinders: 7783
total sectors: 125045424
boundstart: 64
boundend: 125033895
drivedata: 0

16 partitions:
#                size           offset  fstype [fsize bsize  cpg]
  a:          2097152               64  4.2BSD   2048 16384    1 # /
  b:         33554432          2097216    swap                   # none
  c:        125045424                0  unused
  d:         67108864         35651648  4.2BSD   2048 16384    1 # /home

To make things complete, here is the dmesg output after upgrading to 5.1.
Many thanks to the OpenBSD developers to keep the ball in play! Radeon
version xf86-video-ati-6.14.3 on ATI FirePro 2270 is a big progress;
it gives me a brillant digital image! Sometimes there are blackscreens
after switching back from X11 to console, which can be resolved by rebooting
the machine over network. Package qcad is missing but can be compiled easily
from the ports collection.

Best regards,
Jens
