FreeBSD 11.1 on ThinkPad T460

[rahul009]

Hello everyone,
Is Intel HD Graphics 520 supported yet? I can't seem to configure it properly. Currently running with VESA.
Thanks in advance.

More information would be helpful.
Does your system detect the display driver correctly? What does your xorg.conf look like?

VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 520 (rev 07)

If I'm not wrong it's Skylake, and FreeBSD stable's support stops at Haswell's Graphics.

However, you can whether install 12 CURRENT or TrueOS

I never even got Haswell running well on 11.1. (Does well on CURRENT though)

With CURRENT, you can install the drm-next-kmod package which seems to work quite well with some newer intel cards. I have a little page on it at http://srobb.net/freebsdintel.html. Also see (linked on that page) https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/62990/#post-364122 where user Dereckson mentions their success.

Have you installed sudo pkg install xf86-video-intel driver package?
Or just build it from ports x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel?

After that please execute sudo X -configure and copy /root/xorg.conf.new into /etc/X11/xorg.conf

This should work fine then.

Regards,
Krzysztof

If that question is to me, yeah, I tried with the Intel driver and still no luck. I don't remember if I bothered with X -configure, which should no longer be necessary, but at this point, it will have to wait for another time, if ever, especially since CURRENT gives me what I need.
