Not at all unique. I've solved this by using an OS X laptop. XP and OpenBSD live in VMs (VMWare has better BIOS emulation but Parallels works well also). Things like video, power management, sleep/hibernate, and wireless all work well. When all that works under OpenBSD I'll switch :-) I did put a puffy wireframe sticker over the Apple though (thanks Wim). -N
