Below find /var/run/dmesg.boot for a Toshiba a505 s6033 laptop, which has an Intel i7-720QM processor. It seems, according to:
``http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=43122&processor=i7-720WM&spec-codes=SLBLY'' It is a 64-bit instruction set CPU with 4 cores, 8 threads, a clock speed of 1.6GHz, and a Max Turbo Frequency of 2.8GHz. It has 6MB of Intel Smart Cache, at a Bus/Core Ratio of 12, and a DMI of 2.5GT/s. It supports the SSE4.2 instruction set extension, and was manufactured using 45nm technology. It can support up to 8GB of DDR3-1066/1333 ram, which I have installed at the 1333 rate. This CPU claims to support Intel Turbo Boost, Intel Hyper-Threading (VT-x) and (VT-d), Intel Trusted Execution, Idle States, Enhanced Intel Speedstep and Execute Disable Bit technologies. On this Toshiba laptop, they have used a Nvidia 310m chipset for the display. It originally came with Windows 7 Home Premium, but was soon replaced by OpenBSD, since I can't reason about the Windows 7 OS, and I have had such great success working with OpenBSD, since my adoption of it at version 4.2, to serve as a IPS system for my small private heterogenous security lab. Well, It is running quite nicely, with a new 256GB SSD, that replaced the 500GB 2.5" sata drive that came with the laptop. There are just a few items that needs some attention. The first is associated with the Speed Step. As can be seen below, 4.7 generic MP reports that there is no PSS for my processor type. After some digging around in the source code, I found the c source file est.c, which has a select statement that doesn't have a case for a ``ci->ci-model'' value ``0x1e'', and therefore, cannot set the ``bus-clock'' to the appropriate value of BUS133. /* The path of est.c */ /usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/amd64/est.c ... /* The code is in this function */ void p3_get_bus_clock(struct cpu_info *ci) ... /* and the following operative switch statement */ switch (ci->ci_model) { case 0xe: /* Core Duo/Solo */ case 0xf: /* Core Xeon */ case 0x16: /* 65nm Celeron */ case 0x17: /* Core 2 Extreme/45nm Xeon */ ... /* with the source of the error message coming from this default */ printf("%s: EST: PSS not yet available for this processor\n", ... /* This is a naive patch file to force it to set ``bus_clock'' correctly */ 217a218,220 > case 0x1e: /* i7-720QM */ > bus_clock= BUS133; > break; But, I am leary of shoe horning in this value, because, the root cause seems to be a lack of appropriate recognition of data placed in the PSS struct from the acpi code of the kernel, and I am not an experienced kernel programmer. Therefore I was hoping that someone could point me in the correct direction for an appropriate fix for my processor. I'm not afraid of getting dirty coding, I';'m just afraid I don't have enough understanding to address all the areas necessary to allow the OpenBSD kernel to recognize the i7-720QM's particular schedule of frequencies for it to make it function correctly. There are some other minor issues with my wireless mouse, which is recognized, but for which I can't get Xorg to utilize. That is a minor issue, but if anyone could comment on it, I would appreciate it. The native track pad works perfectly both with moused and as a wsmouse, but I can't convince Xorg to use mouse1, despite it finding and utilizing my wireless keyboard in conjunction with the laptop's builtin in keyboard. Also, not critical, but the builtin wireless chipset doesn't appear to be recognized, and I don't yet have information on what precise chipset the Toshiba uses for the wifi adpater. I would be grateful if more experienced eyes had a look at my dmesg.boot, and might point me down the correct path. This is the first time I've put OpenBSD on any machine where I had trouble with support for various devices, but then this is the first new laptop I've attempted to bring OpenBSD 4.7 up on, and really, the machine is quite stable and useful. I'm just trying to flesh out some minor issues that would make it even sweeter.
