Re: Can I use NetBSD as a desktop system?

Hi,

I applied:
- uaudio patch
- ral0 patch in latest version 3 you mention later in this thread
- i915 patch, I used the first one which has a single line fix 
pci_enable_msi(dev->pdev);  (the only patch I could find easily, maybe 
the last one is base64 encoded?)

Kernel built and boots fine :)

I tried this too. I get the laptop to the sleep state without neither 
ral0 nor uaudio complaining.

Does it mean we got those drivers better behaved? Commit?

Maybe I applied the wrong one or it doesn't work for me, resuming till 
yields a black screen and a dead machine for me..
I applied the one-liner. If that is the wrong one please point to me to 
a link or attach it.

dmesg scrollback still shows some i915 issues, but is unreadable.
What is the patch to apply to make dmesg readable again?

Thanks,
