So I got a new laptop, and I thought I'd install FreeBSD on it like I did with my old one. Dual booting with Windows.
But it seems this hardware probably won't work well with FreeBSD. It has Qualcomm Atheros QCA9377 Wireless Network Adapter (with wi-fi and Bluetooth), Intel HD Graphics 620...
For reasons of economy, a number of servers for my startup have found a comfortable home in a walk-in closet in my home. While I do not mind the constant whirring of the fans and disks (the sound of a hard-working server is music to my ears), and crisis response time is at an all time low...
I have a MacBook 12" with an Intel Core M processor (https://www.apple.com/macbook/specs/) that boots into FreeBSD 11.1 just fine from a USB key but has no keyboard once I reach the sysinstall screen.
Laptop: Asus model X540S.
Wireless: Atheros model AR5B125 does seem to work, as well as most other hardware.
Xorg "intel" driver fails because no valid screens are found in FreeBSD.
I have attached files from a working Fedora 25 Linux distribution on this laptop: the output of "lspci -vv" as...
I was thinking.. since I've just finished my FreeBSD/ZFS NAS build - wouldn't it be nice to have a thread on this forum somewhere where people can post their setup, and the way they've built their setup, and the problems they've encountered during the build, hardware components used etc. etc...
Dear FreeBSD Support forum,
I didn't want to ask for help about this topic as there is No Supported Hardware involved, but I will appreciate some help, the scenario is like this:
Have a Dell Precision T7400 with FreeBSD RELEASE 11 installed and I did try to setting up a few wireless USB cards...
The wireless card I'm using is a Sabrent PCI-802N Ralink RT3062F PBG26220E0
I tested the card in Linux and was able to connect another access point and retrieve webpages; in Linux it used the rt2800pci driver; though I didn't set it up as an AP.
autoboot_delay="3"
if_ral_load="YES"...
Hi,
I am considering the Thinkpad T460 as my next laptop. Could anyone please let me know about the hardware support? Would it be a decent choice to run FreeBSD on?
The T460 is not listed here, any input would be helpful.
Thanks.
Hello,
I would like to buy a PC that is fully compatible with FreeBSD. I want to use Intel Graphics Drivers to avoid driver trouble. The system needs to be very silent - it would be great if it had no fans at all.
I do not have very much knowledge of current hardware and do not know how to...
