Hi Ian,

switching to console does not work for me with -current on my T420. 
Everything else is works fine for me. I am not using the sound card nor 
the video camera. Besides that, X is running stable and I had not a 
single problem with it - no special configuration nessecary. The 
wireless chip requires the firmware package described in the openbsd 
manuals.


For a quick overview, here is my dmesg:

I have a ThinkPad T410 and it works great. It does still have the console/X
issues you refer to as of the April 23rd amd64 snapshot though.

I'm looking for a laptop that will run -current without too much
fiddling. Currently considering a Thinkpad T410 or T420 -- anyone who
has one want to share how well it works? Have recent changes fixed
problems[1] with the console after starting X?

I'd be interested in hearing about success stories with other Core i5
or i7 laptops as well. (I know I should be avoiding configurations
with nvidia video.)

Thanks,
Ian
