None of you will remember I was having trouble with my laptop (IBM Thinkpad A31p) and RELENG_5_0. These have largely been fixed - the display works with the new X server, and APM works OK. I do have two changes in device.hints: hint.vga.0.at="isa" is commented out (though I've forgotten why!), and: hint.apm.0.disabled=1 has been changed to: hint.acpi.0.disabled=1 loader.conf has: hw.pci.allow_unsupported_io_range=1 snd_maestro3_load="YES" so, where does this leave me? Well, the display still dies if I am in X and the screen times out - I can reboot blind, but I can't get the screen back - am I missing a trick? Sound doesn't work (there is no entry in /dev). The onboard WiFi doesn't work (Intersil Prism2.5) - its recognised, but it won't associate. An old Lucent WaveLAN (with recent flash) card works fine, however. But most importantly, perhaps, when I do: portupgrade -Rra it almost never completes, because I get coredumps in cc (and occasionally weirder symptoms, like illegal instructions). I know this is usually attributed to RAM, but I've tried swapping that out - so, what else can I fiddle with that might affect this (and the other problems)? More info available on demand, of course.
