It is a great machine for travelling and + coding in general. The machine is fully functional, meaning that + all essential devices work: Keyboard, trackpad, light sensor, + backlight control, display in VESA mode (fast), external Display + on HDMI (only VESA mirror mode), sound, USB ports, SD card slot, + camera and Atheros Wireless.</p> + + <p>This quarter, this project extended previous work on the + boot process and keyboard driver as well as the smbus(4) driver. + It added three new drivers: ig4(4), cyapa(4) and isl(4).</p> + + <p>Much of the development was originally done in late 2014; + since then, the patches have been massively improved and merged + into CURRENT, so that all relevant devices work without manual + patching.</p> + + <p>For those who are unable to run CURRENT, there is a + backported patch to 10.2-RELEASE.</p> + + <p>Thanks to everyone who helped in the process, I couldn't + have done it without you (you know who you are). + </p> + + </body> + </project> + </report>
