Good news! The update from PC-BSD 11.0-CURRENTMAY2016 to 11.0-CURRENTJUNE2016, then (today) another round of updates from the PC-BSD repository and now, the HP EliteBook 850 G2 notebook: * works with the Intel 3D-enabled driver * responds to xbrightness(1). Thanks to everyone who helped to make those things happen.
