I would expect some general brokenness with 0.12.x on OpenBSD, if something works with 0.12.4 but doesn't work with 0.12.5 that would be a problem for this update, but in general 0.9 (/usr/ports/emulators/qemu-old) is the version most people will want to use. Actually I think we should comment-out qemu from emulators/Makefile for release to avoid confusion for package users... > I am using standard settings on login.conf for a regular user, no > changes to ulimits etc. You might need to bump the relevant datasize-* variables (these are set at login so if you're in X you will usually need to restart to get the changed values to show up in ulimit -a / ulimit -d). > Not sure whether the following is of any use but here is the dmesg -- > in case it explains why previous snapshots (before #259) did not > work. There have been many changes recently to acpi (which affects many important things on all modern PCs, not just on laptops), you probably bumped into some kernel with a small problem. If it's gone now then ok, if it starts happening again please report to bugs@ with full details.
