Hi, I’ve been using OpenBSD 6.3 for a few weeks and I really like it! There are only two major things left that I haven’t been able to figure out.
The first is using my USB headphones. I’ve tried following the instructions in the FAQ (making sure that the audio device is set to the correct uaudio) but to no avail. I’ve disabled my system’s onboard AC’97 audio to make sure that there is only one audio device (confirmed with dmesg, my headphones show up as uaudio0). Which configuration stuff do I need to post for y’all to help me? :( The second is that I have a VT420 serial terminal I’d like to use with OpenBSD. I have it connected to a PL2303 USB-to-serial adapter. I’ve successfully connected it to other systems using the USB-to-serial adapter, but I’m having some problems with connecting it to OpenBSD. I’ve added entries to ttys for the USB-to-serial adapter and I’ve set it up to use the regular 9600bps gettytab entry. The terminal is configured for 9600 8N1, no XON/XOFF, no RTS/CTS handshaking. It connects to my system and I’m able to log in but after 15 seconds or so, the terminal loses its DSR signal and the connection resets, sending me back to a new login screen. Anyone have one of these terminals that may be able to advise me on gettytab settings? Other than that, I’m very pleased with the OS, especially with how quiet my computer is when idle compared to running, say, Windows 10 ;) Thank you for your assistance! - Katherine
