I was not aware that inteldrm_gem has no effect for 8 months, in my case x11 will freeze up if i try to run glxgears or even use mplayer without inteldrm_gem option. > > As for the error itself: > > > acpiec0 at acpi0### AML PARSE ERROR (0x105b8): Undefined name: > > \\_PR_.CPU0._PPC > > error evaluating: \\_SB_.PCI0.LPCB.EC0_._REG > > acpiec _REG failed, broken BIOS > > So, OpenBSD thinks the BIOS is broken.

However, a kernel upgrade cleared the error. This error has not caused any problems while working on the laptop i just wanted to know if this is a hardware fault or not. This is my first time reporting a problem to OpenBSD mailing lists, next time onwards i will send all reports while running a generic kernel. I am really sorry if i offended anyone. Thanks for replying, Karthic
