Several systems need a newer version of OpenBSD. Systems are Alix 2d with
an AMD Geode, a bit dated but it works.
Current systems run OpenBSD 4.4 and the hardware acceleration via glxsb
works perfectly:
# openssl speed -evp aes-128-cbc -engine cryptodev
engine "cryptodev" set.
To get the most accurate results, try to run this
program when this computer is idle.

We planned an upgrade years to OpenBSD 5.0 but that was cancelled. I did
however had a system lying around from back then with OpenBSD 5.0 on it so
I tested that as well, and it doesn't work. Same result as OpenBSD 5.5.
Suggestions how to get this (acceleration) working again?
Should it be invoked differently?
Thank you for your time and interest,
Wessels
