i got my oqo back on thursday which i was not expecting. overnighted there, overnighted back.

i was worried that they would just give me a new device with a new hard drive, but i think they just replaced the main board or something, since it had the same hard drive when i got it back.

as i was compiling some more stuff on openbsd, the device locked up. i freaked out thinking it broke again, but i just turned it off and on again and it worked fine. i'm thinking that heat may be causing the problems, so as a precaution i've been turning the cpu down to half speed while compiling things for long periods of time to generate less heat.

after getting xf4 completely recompiled with the siliconmotion driver changes, x worked in 800x480. i setup the wacom stylus with x which worked just fine. friday evening, i spent a lot of time trying to get the keyboard to work. with my usual printf() debugging, comparing the keycodes generated from the oqo vs. another laptop, and lots of kernel recompiles and reboots, i eventually figured how to get it working. i disabled scancode translation and everything worked fine, so i left it at that.

i updated my laptops page with all of the info for the oqo.
