Ok. Would bug reports be useful or is it even too early for that? I do 
not remember exactly but I think it was not even a controlled panic(9) 
but rather some "invalid opcode" or so...

The very same model. X61s.

Ok, but without acpidock then, will obsd cope with attaching and 
detaching the laptop while running, or do I risk breaking things 
(assuming I unmount all file systems etc before detaching)?

(Just want to know it is not a totally insane thing to do before I try 
it) :-)
