Anyone who's been waiting like me - it appears we've reached the point where 12th gen frame.work notebooks do work with FreeBSD 14.
I've compiled the following branches:
installworksinstallworld/installkernel/install and
dumbbell@ has done an amazing job, from what I can tell.
I suppose, even a regular stable/14 might do the trick with 5.15-lts from the usual sources. I haven't tested that yet, however.
Looks like it's time for me to switch my 11th gen for the 12th gen now. It's work, but it's so worth it. Now I just need to fiddle around with the cpu sets and see if I can make use of these low power cores to extend the battery life even more.
If anyone is interested, I can look at scraping everything together and posting my configs from my 11th gen, which helped me to get a very decent battery runtime. This should be a good starting point for the 12th gen as well, I think.
