Hello, I recently bought a fanless PC based on Intel Celeron J1800 and its embedded graphics, and now I'm asking the stupid question of how to make graphics acceleration work. As far as I can tell, this chip belongs to the microarchitecture codenamed "Bay Trail", which sits between "Ivy Bridge" and "Haswell". That's circa 2013. According to https://wiki.freebsd.org/Graphics "Ivy Bridge" is already well supported, while "Haswell" should be in 11.0, so I was reasonably hopeful to see my "Bay Trail" work. Going with a 10.3-RELEASE, I `pkg install`ed minimal graphics stuff, including xf86-video-intel, but it didn't found any screen. xf86-video-vesa does work fine but without acceleration. So I assumed that "Ivy Bridge" was the last supported microarchitecture, and that my "Bay Trail" was too recent for the driver. So I took the 11.0-BETA1 recently released, and did the same thing (I was a bit surprised to find a pkg repository, but I won't complain), but I was to see the same results. Even xf86-driver-scfb cannot find a screen. So my question is, what can I do now? Is my hardware definitely unsupported? Is there something special to do to enable the new i915? If you have the patience to cut-and-paste or link to instruction for scfb, I would welcome it was well, but I admit not having done much research (I don't even know whether `kern.vty` at "vt" means it should work or it shouldn't) so I would understand if you let me search more on it before helping in that direction. Thanks in advance for your help, Natasha
