Hi, I have a an Asus K75DE Notebook ( AMD A10-4600M APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics 7600 Series ) Right now I'm running OBSD 5.5, with Gnome3 Desktop, radeon-firmware seems to work fine. "$ glxinfo | grep -i render direct rendering: Yes OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on AMD ARUBA" "$ uname : OpenBSD 5.5 GENERIC.MP#315 amd64", and I'll explain why I'm running 5.5 a bit further.
some dmesg output, from OBSD 5.5: -------- "acpitz0 at acpi0acpi0: WARNING EC not initialized acpi0: WARNING EC not initialized acpi0: WARNING EC not initialized acpitz0: THRM: failed to read _TMP" "Atheros AR9485" rev 0x01 at pci2 dev 0 function 0 not configured" --------- The above "AR9485" wireless has never worked in any OBSD, including the latest current-5.9-snapshot, so I use a wireless dongle. With latest-current-5.9 snapshot, as of yesterday, or OpenBSD-Release-5.8/5.7/5.6, they all boot fine, but after I install them, and try to boot normally, I get the above "acpi" errors and just as I get to the "Login:" prompt on the console, it spews: "acpitz0: exceeding temperature of 0 Degrees C,... shutting down ...syncing disks" It shuts itself down immediately, and therefore I cannot login to see what's up. I then tried boot> boot -c, followed by a "disable acpi", and it comes up, but when I "fw_update -v" to install the latest radeon-firmware and reboot, it repeats the shutdown before the login prompt again. I seems "acpi" is tied to everything, I cannot "startx" into any window manager without it, and if I do it crashes again. ? ( Note: I tested this notebook with Linux, and Winbloze, and everything works.) I also read on a post around here, that disabling USB3 in BIOS had fixed someones issue with "acpi" errors, but I cannot do that in my BIOS. I prefer not to use OpenBSD 5.5, even though it does seemingly work, because my notebook gets very warm. I hear the fans turning but it still gets overly hot. Also, OpenBSD 5.5 does NOT see my USB3 ports, whereas 5.6 or newer does. I can boot up from latest "snapshot" and post my "dmesg" output, and anything else if you think it may help to drill down and possibly fix these persistent issues, although, I fear this Asus K75DE Notebook is not exactly a "favourite" amongst the OpenBSD dev's. ;)
