I say nearly flawlessly because maybe one out of 10 resumes I'm switched from my X session to virtual terminal 1. It's not a big deal though. Alt-f9 brings me back to where I left off. The main headache with the X220 is a BIOS issue which prevents booting a GPT-partitioned disk without UEFI. This problem isn't specific to FreeBSD. UEFI and root ZFS don't work yet. A good solution for now is to use GRUB. Of course the X220 isn't available new any more and I'm not sure about the successors (X230 and X240). Off topic: It's a shame Lenovo messed with the keyboard (I don't mean the chicklet keys, but the layout). Joseph
