There's a couple of articles on the FreeBSD wiki with a list of short laptops tested, if you're not running FreeBSD on your laptop it's still possible to test from the live environment on a install CD/USB image. If you have a few minutes follow the instructions on https://wiki.freebsd.org/Laptops with the live environment or if you have it installed on disk the instructions on https://wiki.freebsd.org/SuspendResume might be better. Some of the laptops listed on those wiki articles report issues that are being reported as fixed btw. Report your findings to the freebsd-acpi@ list (not sure the list allows attachments, but it's probably best to avoid trying to post the ACPI dst to the list) Sevan / Venture37 From venture37 at gmail.com Tue Oct 7 14:06:24 2014 From: venture37 at gmail.com (Sevan / Venture37) Date: Tue, 7 Oct 2014 14:06:24 +0100 Subject: [Ukfreebsd] Fwd: Cambridge BSD Pub evenings - October In-Reply-To: <20141007001729.GB26260@halon.org.uk> References: <20141007001729.GB26260@halon.org.uk> Message-ID: ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Vassilis Laganakos Date: 7 October 2014 01:17 Subject: [Ukfreebsd] Cambridge BSD Pub evenings - October To: ukfreebsd at uk.freebsd.org Cc: vassilis at einval.com Hello, It's time (a couple of weeks overdue actually) for the *BSD beers evening in Cambridge :) We will meet this Thursday (09/10/2014) at "The Tram Depot", at 19:00.

Yes I need to organize this... There will be something after nearby. Maybe something informal on the Monday evening before. And the day after there is a hack day at the London Hackspace for anyone who wants to code discuss stuff or hang out.

I was never actually targeting any MIPS machines, but it wasn't just a compiler, it was a really good complier too and was useful for finding subtle bugs in my code as well as slapping my wrist when I wrote gcc-isms. -- David Cantrell | top google result for "internet beard fetish club" While researching this email, I was forced to carry out some investigative work which unfortunately involved a bucket of puppies and a belt sander -- after JoeB, in the Monastery From venture37 at gmail.com Thu Oct 30 19:40:25 2014 From: venture37 at gmail.com (Sevan / Venture37) Date: Thu, 30 Oct 2014 19:40:25 +0000 Subject: [Ukfreebsd] Notes from Mondays meeting In-Reply-To: <20141030130827.GA16790@bytemark.barnyard.co.uk> References: <20141030130827.GA16790@bytemark.barnyard.co.uk> Message-ID: On 30 October 2014 13:08, David Cantrell wrote: > On Wed, Oct 29, 2014 at 07:04:55PM +0000, Sevan / Venture37 wrote: > >> using the constraints & features of architectures such as SPARC & VAX >> to improve codebase > > Unfortunately I no longer have a machine on which I can run it, but I > used to use the MIPSpro C compiler for this.

Been meaning to point an o2 with the MIPS compiler at pkgsrc to see what state the IRIX support is. Not had a chance to poke around with it too much but heard it doesn't like to build things such as this though http://ioccc.org/years.html#1996_gandalf :) Sevan / Venture37 From venture37 at gmail.com Fri Oct 31 21:52:39 2014 From: venture37 at gmail.com (Sevan / Venture37) Date: Fri, 31 Oct 2014 21:52:39 +0000 Subject: [Ukfreebsd] HardenedBSD project looking for donations Message-ID: Hi, Shawn Webb who has been working on ASLR on FreeBSD is looking for donations to get a new server & laptop to aid the development.
