I recently got a fit-PC. I found that after installing snapshots, issuing startx simply blacks the screen. The normal methods to stop X and recover the screen were unsuccessful. This is the behavior when using the vesa driver. Under the vga driver, X starts, but the fonts are unreadable and the resolution very low. It appears from the fit-PC forums that the amd driver is needed. Has anyone had other success with this machine, or previously ported this driver to OpenBSD? dmesg below.
I have several AMD Geode LX devices that have Video. The video port on these devices must be programmed using some Geode specific instructions (write MSR/read MSR). Adding that support is in my plans, but I have no idea when it will be ready. [...]
