Re: Running OpenBSD on an Acer Aspire One 110L netbook
By the way, are you sure 'pckbd_set_xtscancode' in sys/dev/pckbc/pckbd.c
is correct?
This function tries to check for scancode set 3 using
cmd[0] = KBC_SETTABLE;
cmd[1] = 0;
if (pckbc_poll_cmd(kbctag, kbcslot, cmd, 2, 1, resp,
0)) {
/*
* query failed, step down to table 2 to be
* safe.
*/
#ifdef DEBUG
printf(pckbd: table 3 verification failed\n);
#endif
continue;
} else if (resp[0] == 3) {
#ifdef DEBUG
printf(pckbd: settling on table 3\n);
#endif
break;
}
#ifdef DEBUG
else
printf(pckbd: table \%x\ != 3, trying 2\n,
resp[0]);
However, http://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/linux/kbd/scancodes-10.html says:
The usual PC keyboards are capable of producing three sets of
scancodes. Writing 0xf0 followed by 1, 2 or 3 to port 0x60 will put the
keyboard in scancode mode 1, 2 or 3. Writing 0xf0 followed by 0 queries
the mode, resulting in a scancode byte 43, 41 or 3f from the keyboard.
So resp[0] == 3 always fails and the code falls back to using scancode
set 2.

I've had it since the day the six cell version hit my local retailer in 2008. It spends most of its time running OpenBSD. It suspends/resumes very well, the battery life is quite good (and still is, after almost four years!), the keyboard is usable, the trackpad beats the hell out of the modern Dell machines I've been subjected to. People keep telling me the screen is too small, I usually respond, that's ok, I didn't want you looking over my shoulder anyway. Nick.

Re: Running OpenBSD on an Acer Aspire One 110L netbook
hmm, on Wed, Jul 04, 2012 at 01:33:14PM -0400, Nick Holland said that all-in-all, I really love my Acer Aspire One. I've had it since the day the six cell version hit my local retailer in 2008. It spends most of its time running OpenBSD. It suspends/resumes very well, the battery life is quite good (and still is, after almost four years!), the the more the pity that in the newer ones they went with the powerVR GPU's. and unfortunately not just them. the hp minis, the backard bells, even the damn eeepc's, the new generation of netbooks is basically useless on openbsd. buy an older generation while you can. (thought that is not a guarantee either, like the lenovo ideapad s100) -f -- use your enemy's hand to catch a snake.
