In a thread back in November 2011, http://marc.info/?t=132173453400070&r=1&w=1 I reported intermittent kernel/X hangs (usually under near-idle loads) on a Thinkpad T60 widescreen laptop (alas I misspelled the name as "Tinkpad" in the Subject: line) running 5.0-stable amd64. My full dmesg is given in the first message in that thread, http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=132105242827683&w=1 along with various other (hopefully-)relevant information. There's also more information on the problem symptoms in my later messages in that thread, http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=132103762123592&w=1 http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=132137790200900&w=1 http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=132813757309520&w=1
I'm pleased to report that as of 5.1/amd64 (either -release or -stable) the problem is solved -- the default autoconfigure-everything X works fine, with no crashes or hangs and full video acceleration. My thanks to all who contributed ideas in the thread (and to all the developers for a *great* 5.1)! ciao, -- -- "Jonathan Thornburg [remove -animal to reply]" <jth...@astro.indiana-zebra.edu> Dept of Astronomy & IUCSS, Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana, USA "Washing one's hands of the conflict between the powerful and the powerless means to side with the powerful, not to be neutral." -- quote by Freire / poster by Oxfam
