Some questions for my laptop before installing OpenBSD
Hi all, Some years passed since i've used OpenBSD. It's time to come back ;) I've got a tablet-pc Asus T100HAN wich run well under Linux with some tweaking. I think that it may be useable under OpenBSD if some tricks are possibles. The DSDT from the BIOS contain one bug that can be patched under Linux with a modified DSDT inside the initrd. FreeBSD can do similar thing with loading a complete DSDT (aml file) at boot. Is it possible to do so with OpenBSD and how? This is needed for the SDCard reader to work (and the WiFi but as it's broadcom it's not important here). After boot, the screen is in portrait mode. I know that it's possible to rotate X screen but is it possible with the console? The bootloader screen is in landscape and rotate to portrait when kernel load. Which is not handy ;) If these thing can be done, i'll install OpenBSD as second OS for now. The time to make it fully usable (suspend, backlight control). Thanks and happy new year.

Duplex is not the role of lpr. a2ps add a line in your PS file starting with /Duplex (can't remember the exact syntax).
