Lenovo T60p touchpad not working (6.2-stable/amd64)

I have a Lenovo T60p laptop (amd64) currently running 6.2-stable (dmesg below). I last rebuilt from source on 2017-12-15, but a cvs-update of /usr/src today (2018-01-10) shows no changes, so this machine is fully up to date for -stable. My problem is that the touchpad does not work: finger

Reinitializing software from hardware clock?

My vague understanding of how OpenBSD keeps track of time is: * At boot the software clock (the value returned by gettimeofday) is initialized from the hardware clock (the one with the coin-shaped battery). * The software clock is then incremented hz(9) times a second by a CPU interrupt. My

Probable mistake in PF tagging example ruleset order

Hi, I am trying to learn and understand the pf tagging mechanism. I was wondering whether my understanding of the order in the example at https://www.openbsd.org/faq/pf/tagging.html is correct. If it is, then there might be a mistake in the order. The relevant lines are ... pass out on egress

Performance issues as KVM guest?

Since my hosting provider https://www.bytemark.co.uk/cloud-hosting/ patched for Meltdown last weekend I'm seeing significant performance issues with an OpenBSD virtual instance there. It seems okay after a fresh reboot but then progressively returns to being very slow: for example "sleep 1" may

Re: 4G modems for OpenBSD?

This scenario is trivial, as far as the Sierra Wireless Airlink supports UDP client/server links. I.e., a properly configurated gateway (easily done through their web interface) should be able to accept UDP packets on any defined port and accept messages in the form
