When I plug a display into the minidisplay port it's not recogised. I have to reboot to access it. How do I enable plugging without reboot? Is hald still needed? https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/xorg-xrandr-unable-to-see-monitor-plugged-in-after-x-org-is-running.75622/post-465526 $...

I'm using 14.1-RELEASE-p6 on my gen 4 E14 (exact model 21E300E4VN), so far my Elantech trackpoint has been acting a bit crazy. The cursor would occasionally jumps around (or teleports), both when nothing is pressed with it and when I try to scroll. At first I thought it was because of...

Hi everyone, I've recently installed version 14.1 on my ThinkPad W520 and noticed an odd issue with the suspend function when closing the lid. Specifically, the laptop doesn't enter suspend mode when the lid is closed, but it immediately suspends once the lid is opened. After a quick...

When I connect an earbud-mic headset to my ThinkPad x250 via the jack plug, I hear a lot of noise. I vaguely remember that someone here in the forum talked about suh acse and output being connected to input, but I can't find the post anymore. I had other pressing issues at the time, but now...

I've been using Teams successfully for the past 3 years only in FreeBSD 13 via the Сhromium browser (I install packages from repositories). And sound/video/sharing works great on all machines (mostly workstations) except my Thinkpad T440p laptop. Problem: When I talk via T440p (Sennheiser chat...

I am currently running FreeBSD 14.0-RELEASE on a ThinkPad T400. I will often be using my device, when the WiFi will suddenly shut off. i3status reports that it's "down" and wifimgr is blank. I've tried restarting all and any network-related daemons, to no avail, and wifimgr doesn't seem to be...

I've been really happy with FreeBSD on my thinkpad carbon x1 7th gen, after working through a few hiccups of getting it installed and consistently updated properly. I'm interested in moving to a desktop set up instead soon though and am looking into a thinkstation. For simplicity, if we assume...
