Slow X on bsd.mp?
Just installed OpenBSD from the latest snapshot. I used the AMD64 arch. Now the weird thing is that X is terrible slow if I boot with the bsd.mp kernel. Basic kernel and X work fine together although the X isn't the fastest as I use vesa driver. Is there anything to be done to increase responsiveness with the bsd.mp kernel? I'm clueless even what could cause such slowness. Timo

On i386 (well, my ThinkPad R60, Core duo) at least, 'enable acpi' helps enormously. That is, after installing, at the boot prompt 'b bsd.mp -c', then 'enable acpi', then 'quit', and finally config -e etc as per the faq section 5.9 (http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq5.html#config) Works for me(TM) - hopefully not a complete waste of time on amd64.

All the best, Thank you, that worked for me too. Now the X is quite responsive with bsd.mp. Next goal is to try to get the avivo driver working...
