Unable to get hardware acceleration to work on old Lenovo laptop

[Meinold]

Hello,

I freshly installed FreeBSD on an old Lenovo laptop with an Intel graphic card. But I cannot figure out why the hardware acceleration does not work and would therefore appreciate any help. Please see the relevant information below:

# uname -a
FreeBSD lenovo 14.3-RELEASE-p3 FreeBSD 14.3-RELEASE-p3 GENERIC amd64

# pciconf -lv | grep -B3 display
vgapci0@pci0:0:2:0:    class=0x030000 rev=0x0e hdr=0x00 vendor=0x8086 device=0x0f31 subvendor=0x17aa subdevice=0x3986
    vendor     = 'Intel Corporation'
    device     = 'Atom Processor Z36xxx/Z37xxx Series Graphics & Display'
    class      = display

• /etc/rc.conf
• /var/log/Xorg.0.log
• list of installed packages

I have the xf86-video-intel package installed, but I am not sure if that was a good decision…

The mpv player does not open that video file…

Check if there's a newer BIOS version on the Lenovo site.

Check if there's a newer BIOS version on the Lenovo site.

I do not think that the problem is related to that, because hardware acceleration worked on that laptop with Linux.

Did you load the i915 kernel module?

Did you load the i915 kernel module?

Yes, I did. You can see that in the rc.conf.

It looks like you have an intel "Bay Trail" CPU, what CPU do you have?
Am I correct that you don't have a seperate discrete GPU?

 

[Crivens]

What's in dmesg? Did i915 initialize or complain about something?

Here is the CPU info:

Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU N2840 @ 2.16GHz

You are correct that there is no separate discrete GPU.

Here is the output of dmesg.
