I decided to try out FreeBSD 12-CURRENT because of how new my hardware is and 11.0-RELEASE was unable to detect any of my networking interfaces. I have a laptop (Alienware 13 R3) which has an Intel 630 GPU. I attempted to get it working by loading the i915kms module and then starting X (using startx with XFCE4 set up), but X was using the scfb driver (which I think is the UEFI frame buffer driver?). If I create a file `/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/intel.conf with the following contents, X is unable to find a screen: Section "Device" Identifier "Card0" Driver "intel" # BusID "PCI:1:0:0" EndSection So it kind of looks to me like my chip isn't supported by the driver out of the box yet (I understand Kaby Lake is still quite recent, so it's understandable). Right now I have the following X video drivers installed: xf86-video-intel-2.99.917.20170228 xf86-video-scfb-0.0.4_5 xorg-server-1.18.4,1 If anyone has any tips to help me out I'd really appreciate it. If I need to provide additional information I'd be glad to, just don't know exactly what all is necessary at this point. Thanks!
