The bigger news is that this also fixes the QEMU compatibility bug that makes OpenBSD hang out of the box on arm64 when starting X.

It started in 7.3 with the frame buffer changes and the only workaround was to disable the kernel driver.

Maybe more people will get to try out OpenBSD successfully now.





I am one of them! Been wanting to try it out for a while but my only available machine is an MBP

I can confirm it is fixed in the latest OpenBSD snapshot build. Works great.

Why does QEMU need to start X? Shouldn't that be OpenBSD's responsibility?

reply


OpenBSD does start X. And subsequently OpenBSD apparently hangs (or did so previously) when OpenBSD was running under Qemu.

The subject in the parent comment changed to OpenBSD when they mentioned it, and it appears you may have overlooked the subject change.

Maybe not posting such comments would increase the value of this site.
