Interview with Mike Larkin. We talk about ACPI and OpenBSD.
Note: Shortly after recording this, OpenBSD added support for the "machdep.lidsuspend" sysctl. By setting this to "1", your machine should suspend automatically when the lid is closed. By default, OpenBSD will always resume when the lid is opened. This sysctl works for most ACPI machines that have a "LID" ACPI object.

Talking about the BSD family of free operating systems.
Wow! ACPI S4 coming to OpenBSD?! Who said OpenBSD is only for routers...
ReplyDeleteYAY! now i can suspend my router! :P
ReplyDeleteAnd this is what I truly love about OpenBSD for particular: K.I.S.S.
ReplyDeleteNo fancy cli variables and commands - just one, simple var, just like hwperf for ACPI CPU scaling ...
Absolutely love it!
Cheers to all fellow OpenBSD users and devs
