Hi Dimitry and Gerhard, first of all i apologise but I really was/am in panic... as I said, this is my production laptop, the small little toy in front of which I spend some ~10 hours a day!
I have spent quite a few days to learn the fundamentals of o'bsd on a crashbox (this one, an ibm t43p) and was very happy with the result; I even bought the absolute book and read quite a few chapters... I cannot afford to have a non-functional (I know this is an exaggerated statement) production laptop for longer than, say, a few hours. As a matter of fact I am reinstalling GNU/Linux right now because I HAVE to work this evening (the installation and set up takes ~20 min) Anyway... 1- Why should I give gcc the path to io.h? (and where is it, btw, a locate will be random in my case because I do not know what io.h is) In GNU/Linux I don't have to do it and seemingly the folks of FreeBSD/NetBSD neither. Does it depend on the gcc version? 2- Another BIG problem for me is that apm does not work. I NEED apm -S. Again, this is an exaggerated statement but I am used to suspend to RAM the laptop some ~5 times a day because I have to run from one office to another because there's a meeting or whatever I am really disappointed. I was looking so much forward to moving to o'bsd... And the main problem is that I love my laptop: 1280x768 on a 10.2" crispy screen (I use an external screen in the office but for the train, cafe etc it's perfect), 80GB disk, 1GB RAM, doesn't get hot, 1.2 kg (!!) I really cannot make it without that little thing and I WANT o'bsd on it but as I said some 3 weeks ago 1- I need wlan connection (guess it'll work just as it's working on this one, same chipset) 2- I need the full screen resolution 3- I need apm working If you guys say it's going to work and it was a mere problem of compilation I'll sure give it a second try for the resolution... but what do you say regarding apm??? This is the FreeBSD site where you can find the patch (sorry about that, I didn't know) http://www.jail.se/p7010.html --> http://www.jail.se/p7010/1280patch-845g-855gm-865g.c > This might be due to you using it incorrectly, since it works fine for > quite a lot of people. :) In cases like this, always post the *exact* > command line and options that you tried, and include *complete* logs of > any error messages. yes, you're right, I was too nervous, sorry But I don't think it was my problem. I know 915resolution and have used it with GNU/Linux without a worry... I am a o'bsd n00b but not a GNU/Linux newbie :) Thanks in any case for your quick fedback and sorry about the hysterical reaction... _______________________________________________ Openbsd-newbies mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.theapt.org/listinfo/openbsd-newbies
