13.2-RELEASE and AlderLake-S GT1 Integrated Graphics

[wally]

Does anyone know if 13.2-RELEASE and X is able to be configured to run satisfactorily?
I have been using an nvidia GT730 and would like to be able to run without it.

Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately no, for Alder Lake you need drm-515-kmod, which is only supported on FreeBSD 14 and higher.

Many thanks, will look to that.

https://www.freebsd.org/where/ I have just visited this URL which speaks of a Version 15.0-Current..... surely an error..

It is correct. FreeBSD 14 is on the way and in its release cycle, so it will be available soon for download and install.
I do not recommend installing 15-CURRENT (dev branch). You can start with 13.2-RELEASE and update to 14.0-RELEASE when it comes out. Or you can wait installing until 14-RELEASE is released . You will be able to run 13.2-RELEASE with X, just not with hardware acceleration (driver).

Sorry for the confusion and wasting your time. It just seemed strange that every other Major release was mentioned under Development - save 14.
Thanks again

FreeBSD 14.0-BETA2 is available right now. BETA3 will be available in a couple of days.
