I have disconnected wifi unit, literally.

My touchpad works. I use mouse.

Brightness is an issue. I can change it. But the minimum brightness is
too high anyway. So, this is absolutely fantastic workaround:

$ xrandr --output LVDS1 --brightness 0.2

Have a look at enlightenment. It is available under BSD license.

# pkg install enlightenment
$ echo exec enlightenment_start > .xinitrc
$ startx
