I disagree. What you posted was the 4.6-release kernel dmesg, so you are
not running -stable. Theo built your kernel, you didn't:
Code:
OpenBSD 4.6 (GENERIC) #58: Thu Jul 9 21:24:42 MDT 2009
deraadt@i386.openbsd.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC
Nor are your running -release + errata, as patches 002,003, and 005 are kernel patches. You may want to reread FAQ 5.1 to more clearly understand the flavors of the OS. And if you've built a -stable kernel, you didn't boot it, so you may want to reread FAQ 5.3.4 and note the install step you would have skipped.
Since -stable adds no new functionality, by its very nature, it is a moot point. Note the date of the -release kernel build: July 9, 2009. This kernel, and its drivers, were developed and built before your laptop's BIOS was.
I agree with Ocicat;
try a -current snapshot, which will be very close to but not exactly what 4.7-release will be this spring. (4.7 is close to being put to bed, but as of last night, 4.7-release had not yet been tagged, so 4.7-release will still be "ahead" of a recent -current snapshot.)
