The kernel mentions "acpi0: entering state 5" and then locks.</p><p>The issue is apparently broader, with "envstat -r" being, at best, extremely slow.<br></p><h3>Booting<br></h3><h4>The system is unstable when booting with genfb</h4><p>Up until 6.0_BETA booting with genfb (either with or without a splash screen) was very unreliable, and X not starting at all. Since shortly before the netbsd-6 branch it seems to work properly.</p><p>However:</p><ul><li>the colours and/or the logo are usually wrong or corrupted;</li><li>not every colour depth seems supported on every graphics card;</li><li>the kernel sometimes still outputs some text before enabling the splash screen.<br></li></ul><h3>Graphics sub-system<br></h3><h4>
+The graphics card on the Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3t is not accelerated</h4><p>This problem is currently being addressed by Gregoire Sutre, on his netbsd-drmgem branch on github: <a href="https://github.com/gsutre/netbsd-drmgem">https://github.com/gsutre/netbsd-drmgem</a>.<br></p><h4>Software acceleration is buggy with modular-xorg-server</h4><p>Using modular-xorg-server with the "vesa" driver (while the accelerated Intel driver gets fixed) is barely usable, as windows are not fully drawn correctly. Running xterm with anti-aliased fonts is an easy way to reproduce the issue.</p><p>It seems to be related to acceleration issues rather than a specific video driver, maybe when no DRI driver could be loaded. I have yet to determine if both EXA and XAA exhibit the issue.</p><p>Also noteworthy is the requirement for the Xorg executable to be linked with libpthread for the DRI modules to load correctly.<br></p><h3>Multimedia support<br></h3><h4>
