Hello and thanks already for having clicked on this!
I'm having some trouble getting FreeBSD setup fully working on my late 2011 13" MPB. Most things do work suprisingly well but here are my problems:
About the Trackpad: Basic functionality is available (moving the cursor and clicking) with default, atp and wsp drivers. However when starting X and using either atp or wsp X will not register input. I have tried most configurations (also no config) I've found on the web for X (my file is /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/touchpad.conf) and never got it to work which is a shame. Driver loads and attaches, I have also tried to disable the ums driver which worked but did not help. To clarify: I am mostly concerned with the pad working in X, no need for it being shared with console if that helps. Nothing of interest (to my novice eyes) appeared in /var/log/Xorg.0.log
Suspend works when setting
in /etc/sysctl.conf when closing the lid. Might be due to me having the controller driver installed in order to control keyboard backlight. On opening the lid however seemingly random behaviour occurs. I exclusively closed the lid in an X-environment (dwm window manager if that is of concern) and sometimes it would just work but the mouse would become janky. Other times either X reopens and the keyboard and touchpad dont work, or X shuts down and im sent back to tty, or the darn thing does nothing at all or just gets stuck in the wakeup process.
If further information/logs are required for troubleshooting this, please do tell.
Thank you for your time!
EDIT#1: Bought WiFi USB dongle thinggy.
