Acceleration worked with 4.13 but Ubuntu console even was choppy and
unusable even outside of X with 4.4.70 on Ubuntu!!. Turns out xenodm
was running and the screen was not being detected on OpenBSD. I'll
find out later if Inteldrm works with a native flat panel rather than
HDMI but when inteldrm is disabled, wsfb works automatically and rather
well even with youtube fullscreen and is more than sufficient for our
needs, :).

hmmm, 0x5a85 seems to already be present in the OpenBSD code despite
unknown product except broxton may be being dropped by intel and apollo
lake now uses the broxton code on Linux perhaps with different firmware.

Perhaps it is first worth seeing if 4.4.70 and 4.8 linux kernels work
with the apollo lake hardware unless anyone has any insights?

Unsure if I can help update the drivers?

2017-11-15 Thread Kevin Chadwick
http://www.congatec.com/en/products/smarc/conga-sa5.html

I would like to get a number of intel device IDs and/or drivers working
with OpenBSD including broxton graphics 0x5a85 and azalia sound 0x5a98.

Can I help in any way such as by providing patches or is it simply a
case of waiting for a sync with Linux driver updates or can I help with
that?

Thanks
