Is there a keymap that corresponds to an apple keyboard with numeric keypad? How can I select it post install?

Years ago, when we had to tool our xorg.conf for pretty much any install, things were different and now xorg seems to configure itself quite well provided you have the right driver. However, I'm on a MacBook Pro 8,1 with a touchpad and the the default setting for the touchpad only allow single...

Greetings. I would like to use Apple's Magic Trackpad 2 for my Freebsd desktop, and I'm wondering if there's a driver. It seems that there's a driver for Macbook's touchpad, but not sure if it also works for the external Magic Trackpad 2. Apple touchpad driver...

I have a G5 Power Mac with Linux and i would like to install FreeBSD on it. However, whenever i try to install it, it completely destroys the partition tables on ALL disks and rendering Linux to unbootable. (FreeBSD also cannot boot.) I've read in the manual, that on PPC sysinstall cannot...

Hi, I'm trying to install FreeBSD 11 on my Macbook 12" retina, but I encountered the following problem: once the system loads and appears the Welcome Menu, where I can chose between install, shell or LiveCD, I cannot move on because the keyboard is not working. The only key working, luckily, is...
