Thinkpad T420 and FreeBSD 9

A

ahmet

Hi All, I am linux user and want to install FreeBSD because of its speedy kernel and new compiler named clangs as a development machine. Do you have any experience on installing FreeBSD 9 on Thinkpad T420 such as driver problems for intel video adapter, sleep/wakeup issues, wireless connectivity etc? The config is like:

CPU: Core i5,Intel i5-2520M / 2.5 GHz
Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 3000
Comms: Bluetooth 3.0, Intel Wireless N1000

Thanks in advance,
Hope to see you again in this forum if it's installed successfully :) .
 
My T420 works without problems. I can provide you with configs if you run into any problems. Just use FreeBSD >= 9.1 with KMS if you want anything more than VESA from your Intel GPU.
 
T61p Middle-button scrolling...

Hey Crest,

I have FreeBSD 9.0 and am using a T61p. I cannot for the life of me get this scroll button to work. Is there any special configuration I'm supposed to do in order to get the middle-button scroll to work?

Thanks,

RE: T61p Middle-button scrolling...

Found the answer. After tampering with moused and every single configuration variable you can think of, I saw a post online that says to disable the touchpad in the BIOS. I didn't think it would work, but disabling the touchpad in the BIOS actually did make the touchpoint middle scroll button to work. Just in case anyone else has the issue.
