I recently decided to replace pfSense with OpenBSD on my home firewall and 
during the process of getting to know OpenBSD I realised that I wanted to run 
it on a laptop/desktop as well (being a Mac desktop user primarily). After a 
bit of research I decided that the Asus UX305 would be the right choice, and 
yes the most important stuff works … I can get the internal wifi card running 
(Intel 7265) and X will run on the Intel HD Graphics 5300 card.

However, and of course realising that the hardware is brand new and support may 
be limited, there are some issues:

suspend works,  on resume I can ssh into the machine and reboot but the screen 
doesn’t wake up.
ZZZ gives a kernel error, I have followed the defaults and assigned 8.1GB of 
swap, for my 8GB of ram.
when I run startx on a default installation, the fvwm freezes and won’t 
unfreeze when I try to exit, however with the latest xfce package installed I 
get a similar freeze when I log out/reboot but it unfreezes after 15-30 seconds.

I have looked around for information but not found that much, I do suppose it’s 
because of such a new machine but I would still be very thankful if I could get 
some general pointers and suggestions as to what I could try. Also, is there 
any way I can support the development for this machine (already sent a dmesg, 
but I don’t really have the money to buy another one for the project … though I 
would if I could …)

Thanks in advance,
Fredrik
