I should have included that in the first place :) As I can see I also have a 2,1 but I guess the Intel card is supported in the Xorg intel driver... OK, first the update. I can very well see truetype anti-aliased fonts. I configured my xterm to use a Microsoft Core Font and I can see the font clearly. However, any attempts to use bitmap fonts so far have failed (I cannot see them on screen unless I plug an external monitor in which case I can see them both in the external monitor and the laptop's). For now, I will configure everything to use TTF and also use fvwm as KDE has quite a few problems and does not work well out-of-the box. You have a 2,1? How did you get it installed in the first place? The install kernel hangs for me. I got around that by putting the harddrive in a different computer, but I'm wondering if I missed an easier way. I will try to document everything in a public url and when I do I will post the link to the list. Generally, I have a dual boot setup (Mac OS X Leopard and OpenBSD). I used Boot Camp assistant to create an empty partition. Then I installed OpenBSD 4.3 from the CD using an external USB keyboard in the first USB slot. After the installation was complete I modified boot.conf to use GENERIC.MP kernel (the normal kernel does not work and I believe it has to do something with the different ACPI handling in the MP kernel). Finally I use the very good rEfit boot loader (http://refit.sourceforge.net/) to dual boot the system. I guess someone could use rEfit and have only OpenBSD on the laptop if that was his wish -:) -Nick Kostas
