It could make sense. However, you won't have working suspend/resume with
OpenBSD yet and will have to fight with ACPI and its possible problems.
Not speaking about hibernation, which X4x laptops have. Also, a keyboard
without Microsoft keys is much more comfortable for some. Each has its own
advantages.
I'll grant you that suspend is not supposed to be working yet (I haven't
actually tried).
It will work, eventually, though.
Everything else is, as far as I'm aware, absolutely fine. Installation of
OpenBSD on an X61
is a breeze, at least for amd64 (That's another advantage, of course :
X31/X41 is 32 bit only).
The only issue I've found so far is that VLC 0.8.6 is considerably less
usable than under Vista
x64; the sound lags the video to an unusable degree. I've not yet compiled
VLC 1.0 to find
out whether the issue is VLC (not unlikely), the sound driver (possible) or
X (very unlikely IMO).
Accelerated X is fine, and OpenGL on the X3100 appears to be fully
functional too.
