Recently I decided to run exclusively FreeBSD 11.2 (RC3) on my new Thinkpad T480. I'm using drm-kmod-next, overall the system runs quite well. But one really annoying problem is that none of the FN-brightness up/down, wireless, etc.. was working. Even using the acpi_ibm driver. It took me a...

I have a Lenovo ThinkPad X230 with the Centrino Advanced-N 6205 card. I've got FreeBSD 12.0-CURRENT installed and I can successfully connect to my home WiFi on the 5 GHz band. However, I'm noticing that there is a significant performance hit to my Internet speeds. When I had a Linux distro...

Hello everyone, I am new here and new to freeBSD. I installed freeBSD with XFCE and for the most part it is working fine. However, I have a problem with suspend when the lid is closed (zzz works). Also, the CPU fan seems to be working, but it gets to around 60-70c and it's not really work at...

Hello Everyone, I have decided to give FreeBSD a go on my old X300 laptop. Got everything running apart from my graphics card. For some reason it defaults to 640x480. I have installed Xorg, LXDE and Slim packages and now I am unable to login through Slim, it looks like the graphics card driver...

I've been banging my head into the wall trying to figure this out. I have an older laptop with an Intel Pro Wireless 2100 card that works perfectly well under Linux. I had a bit of trouble getting the card to be detected by ifconfig as wlan0, but I finally got it working. Now scanning with...

Hello FreeBSD community! I installed FreeBSD-11 on ThinkPad T400 and now I'm trying to get Xorg to work. This laptop has two graphic cards - integrated 4500MHD and discrete Radion HD 3470. The discrete card is working just fine (with radeon driver) if I select it in the BIOS as the only...

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 everyone, I'm having issues setting up Synaptics on my Thinkpad X1 Carbon running 11-CURRENT. I know CURRENT isn't supported, but I wanted to make sure I wasn't just having problems with X. I started off by following the instructions on the wiki and this leads to a mostly working...

Is it possible to control ThinkPad LEDs? I'm using FreeBSD 11.0-CURRENT on ThinkPad T430. The driver acpi_ibm is supposed to provide such functionality. Under /dev/led I have: ahci0.0.fault ahci0.0.locate ahci0.1.fault ahci0.1.locate ahci0.4.fault ahci0.4.locate em0 thinklight I have no idea...

I would like to share my experience in trying to have a working Xorg on FreeBSD, on a recent (August 2015) Lenovo Thinkpad w541. The laptop model I tried it on has a Intel Quad Core i7-4810MQ cpu (Intel HD Graphics 4600) and Nvidia card. The gist of it: FreeBSD installs fine, but Xorg will not...
