Go ahead, recompile it. And if you can, how can you call what they supply as "official support"? That is not documentation. > I assume, quite some OpenBSD devs are using ThinkPads as well, and being a > security centered OS, it would make sense to have full use of equipment. ;-) We don't have those machines, and there is no documentation. Let me be clear that it really bugs me when the members of our user community send us such mails. It doesn't matter that you can't code. You could be talking to the company in question and requesting documentation. But no. In the end it comes down to us doing all the politics, then all the coding, and all the hardware purchases too, while we get sweet words basically trying to mock us into doing it all for you. I wish I didn't find it so condescending.
