I recently migrated my X1 Carbon (2nd gen) from running OpenBSD to FreeBSD. It was working perfectly with Xenocara but setting it in FreeBSD / X11 was not a great experience to be honest. The only thing that was a great help was actually this threads tutorial
The official handbook here: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/x-config.html
has been updated to an extent but doesn't mention anything about i915 from base and instead only mentions the ports version. It then doesn't mention a whole lot more such as how to use anything.
For example it misses off tips such as the i915kms will not work when added to /boot/loader.conf (i915kms_load="YES"). If it wasn't for the OPs tutorial and kld_list, I would have been quite stumped.
Is there any work to get this tutorial merged with the official handbook?
