Where to get Loongson hardware?

2018-01-08 Thread Christopher Intemann
With the recent security issues in Intel CPUs in mind I'm curious how to get hands on Loongson hardware? There seems to be an active OpenBSD release, but only for older hardware while a newer, more macbook-like Loongson netbook seems to exist as well. Is there still any active development in Loongs

Bochs on OpenBSD/Sparc64

Hi, I just found out that the bochs-package: http://www.openbsd.org/4.4_packages/sparc64/bochs-2.3.7.tgz-long.html is available for OpenBSD/Sparc64. I therefore wonder if: -Linux/x86 would run on a OBSD netra server and if -isdn4linux with usb-modem would run smoothly -a fonera (www.fon.com)

OpenBSD on the desktop / 3D acceleration / printer

2009-05-20 Thread Christopher Intemann
Hi, I'm thinking about installing OpenBSD on my desktop workstation. As far as I know, there are commercial (binary) drivers for some Nvidia and ATI cards applicable. Do these drivers work on OpenBSD as well? If not, which graphics cards are supported for 3D acceleration at all? Then, I would like

Thank you very much, your guide will be very helpful to me. Maybe you should blog it somewhere? I'm just only getting a bit confused about the serial ports of the Netra box. Where do i get the appropriat cables to either connect this port to an ordinary RS/232 port, or to another netra x1? By the w

Hi, does anyone here have experience with OpenBSD on a Sun Netra X1 server? I read somewhere that it does only support hard drives up to 137GB of size. Is there any way to avoid this restriction? I read somewhere (else) that using a PCI-IDE controller could do the trick. However could not find any

Hi, I just got myself a Sun Netra X1 Sparc64 1U server. I wonder if I could use it to either connect to my DSL provider directly (using a DSL-PCI-card, such as this one: http://tinyurl.com/cqddxj).

Hello, Does anyone here have OpenBSD up and running on an HP 2133 netbook? I wonder in particular if there is support for the pc-card interface and the audio device? Since it has VIA graphics, running X shouldn't be too much of an issue... Regards, Chris
