Hi folks and Naoki, I have done it... I have installed o'bsd on my production laptop (fujitsu siemens lifebook p7010) and it seems to work quite nice BUT for one VERY important thing: screen resolution. It's showing 1024x768 whilst the laptop can reach 1280x768
I was aware of this because in GNU/Linux it's the same but I was always able to patch it or to use 915resolution... but dmesg shows: ----------------------------------------------------- OpenBSD 4.0 (GENERIC) #1107: Sat Sep 16 19:15:58 MDT 2006 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC cpu0: Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.20GHz ("GenuineIntel" 686-class) 1.21 GHz cpu0: FPU,V86,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,CFLUSH,DS,ACPI,MMX,F XSR,SSE,SSE2,SS,TM,SBF,EST,TM2 cpu0: Enhanced SpeedStep 1200 MHz (940 mV): speeds: 1200, 1100, 1000, 900, 800, 600 MHz real mem = 1063809024 (1038876K) avail mem = 962383872 (939828K) using 4256 buffers containing 53293056 bytes (52044K) of memory mainbus0 (root) bios0 at mainbus0: AT/286+(ba) BIOS, date 05/09/05, BIOS32 rev. 0 @ 0xfd720, SMBIOS rev . 2.3 @ 0xe80c0 (43 entries) bios0: FUJITSU SIEMENS 0000000000 pcibios0 at bios0: rev 2.1 @ 0xfd720/0x8e0 pcibios0: PCI IRQ Routing Table rev 1.0 @ 0xfdf40/160 (8 entries) pcibios0: PCI Interrupt Router at 000:31:0 ("Intel 82371FB ISA" rev 0x00) pcibios0: PCI bus #3 is the last bus bios0: ROM list: 0xc0000/0xd200! 0xdc000/0x4000! cpu0 at mainbus0 pci0 at mainbus0 bus 0: configuration mode 1 (no bios) pchb0 at pci0 dev 0 function 0 "Intel 82852GM Hub-PCI" rev 0x02 "Intel 82852GM Memory" rev 0x02 at pci0 dev 0 function 1 not configured "Intel 82852GM Configuration" rev 0x02 at pci0 dev 0 function 3 not configured vga1 at pci0 dev 2 function 0 "Intel 82852GM AGP" rev 0x02: aperture at 0xd8000000, siz e 0x8000000 wsdisplay0 at vga1 mux 1: console (80x25, vt100 emulation) wsdisplay0: screen 1-5 added (80x25, vt100 emulation) "Intel 82852GM AGP" rev 0x02 at pci0 dev 2 function 1 not configured uhci0 at pci0 dev 29 function 0 "Intel 82801DB USB" rev 0x03: irq 11 usb0 at uhci0: USB revision 1.0 uhub0 at usb0 uhub0: Intel UHCI root hub, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1 uhub0: 2 ports with 2 removable, self powered uhci1 at pci0 dev 29 function 1 "Intel 82801DB USB" rev 0x03: irq 11 usb1 at uhci1: USB revision 1.0 uhub1 at usb1 uhub1: Intel UHCI root hub, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1 uhub1: 2 ports with 2 removable, self powered ehci0 at pci0 dev 29 function 7 "Intel 82801DB USB" rev 0x03: irq 11 usb2 at ehci0: USB revision 2.0 uhub2 at usb2 uhub2: Intel EHCI root hub, rev 2.00/1.00, addr 1 uhub2: 4 ports with 4 removable, self powered ppb0 at pci0 dev 30 function 0 "Intel 82801BAM Hub-to-PCI" rev 0x83 pci1 at ppb0 bus 1 cbb0 at pci1 dev 10 function 0 "Ricoh 5C476 CardBus" rev 0xab: irq 11 cbb1 at pci1 dev 10 function 1 "Ricoh 5C476 CardBus" rev 0xab: irq 11 "Ricoh 5C552 Firewire" rev 0x03 at pci1 dev 10 function 2 not configured vendor "Ricoh", unknown product 0x0576 (class system subclass miscellaneous, rev 0x01) at pci1 dev 10 function 3 not configured "Ricoh 5C592 Memory Stick" rev 0x00 at pci1 dev 10 function 4 not configured rl0 at pci1 dev 12 function 0 "Realtek 8139" rev 0x10: irq 11, address 00:0b:5d:91:6d:e 8 rlphy0 at rl0 phy 0: RTL internal PHY iwi0 at pci1 dev 13 function 0 "Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG" rev 0x05: irq 11, address 00 :0e:35:34:e3:60 cardslot0 at cbb0 slot 0 flags 0 cardbus0 at cardslot0: bus 2 device 0 cacheline 0x0, lattimer 0x20 pcmcia0 at cardslot0 cardslot1 at cbb1 slot 1 flags 0 cardbus1 at cardslot1: bus 3 device 0 cacheline 0x0, lattimer 0x20 pcmcia1 at cardslot1 ichpcib0 at pci0 dev 31 function 0 "Intel 82801DBM LPC" rev 0x03 pciide0 at pci0 dev 31 function 1 "Intel 82801DBM IDE" rev 0x03: DMA, channel 0 configu red to compatibility, channel 1 configured to compatibility wd0 at pciide0 channel 0 drive 0: <FUJITSU MHT2080AH> wd0: 16-sector PIO, LBA, 76319MB, 156301488 sectors wd0(pciide0:0:0): using PIO mode 4, Ultra-DMA mode 5 pciide0: channel 1 ignored (disabled) ichiic0 at pci0 dev 31 function 3 "Intel 82801DB SMBus" rev 0x03: irq 11 iic0 at ichiic0 auich0 at pci0 dev 31 function 5 "Intel 82801DB AC97" rev 0x03: irq 11, ICH4 AC97 ac97: codec id 0x414c4770 (Avance Logic ALC203 rev 0) ac97: codec features headphone, 20 bit DAC, 18 bit ADC, No 3D Stereo audio0 at auich0 "Intel 82801DB Modem" rev 0x03 at pci0 dev 31 function 6 not configured isa0 at ichpcib0 isadma0 at isa0 pckbc0 at isa0 port 0x60/5 pckbd0 at pckbc0 (kbd slot) pckbc0: using irq 1 for kbd slot wskbd0 at pckbd0: console keyboard, using wsdisplay0 pms0 at pckbc0 (aux slot) pckbc0: using irq 12 for aux slot wsmouse0 at pms0 mux 0 pcppi0 at isa0 port 0x61 midi0 at pcppi0: <PC speaker> spkr0 at pcppi0 npx0 at isa0 port 0xf0/16: using exception 16 biomask effd netmask effd ttymask ffff pctr: 686-class user-level performance counters enabled mtrr: Pentium Pro MTRR support dkcsum: wd0 matches BIOS drive 0x80 root on wd0a rootdev=0x0 rrootdev=0x300 rawdev=0x302 ------------------------------------------------------ NOT CONFIGURED! aaaargh! and of course 915resolution doesn't work!! In GNU/Linux there is another possibility other than 915resolution; namely a patch that is working properly on the SAME laptop in NetBSD, FreeBSD (thanks to Naoki!) and GNU/Linux But when I try to compile it I get --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $ gcc -o i8xx_Patch ./1280patch-845g-855gm-865g.c 1280patch-845g-855gm-865g.c:32:20: sys/io.h: No such file or directory 1280patch-845g-855gm-865g.c: In function `main': 1280patch-845g-855gm-865g.c:307: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am NOT a C programmer, but it seems that it doesn't find io.h Can somebody please help me? If this is not working, I am going back to GNU/Linux, because I need a *nix for both my allday work and life, and I do not want to burn out my eyes with a wrongly set up screen I attach the patch... I'd be a bit of a damp squib to have to go back to GNU/Linux because of this... please try to help me... thanks, Pau PS: Please take into account that I am posting to two different forums. If you do not are in both mailing lists and reply to all your email will be refused [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type application/octet-stream which had a name of 1280patch-845g-855gm-865g.c]
