It does not provide accelerated graphics, and is missing some features like brightness adjustment and support for external displays, but it works just fine on built-in laptop displays for simply desktop use and even playing videos. To get it working: 1. Boot to a console (ensure X is installed as per the handbook, but not running) 2. Install the x11-drivers/xf86-video-scfb port/package: # pkg install xf86-video-scfb 3. Remove the x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel port/package: # pkg remove xf86-video-intel 4. Unload the i915 and i915kms kernel modules: # kldunload i915 # kldunload i915kms 5. Edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf to remove anything related to intel graphics. The only section of the file you should need is the following: Section "Device" Identifier "Card0" Driver "scfb" EndSection 6. Start X and enjoy your laptop graphical display (even if it is not accelerated). Refer to the scfb X11 framebuffer driver man page here: https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=3Dscfb&apropos=3D0&sektion=3D0&ma= npath=3DFreeBSD+10.2-RELEASE+and+Ports&arch=3Ddefault&format=3Dhtml Good luck!
