I have a very similar T520. Same as above, but two spindles (which I
still like) except:
Wired network card is Intel 82579LM supported in head, 9, and 8.3

Wireless can be selected to use the Intel card at no extra cost, but
default is a RealTek that is not supported

SOME Fn keys work and others may be redefined to work. Brightness in
particular does not work and I have not been able to get it to work.
ThinkLight does work.

Backlight can be adjusted with the SET by command using the acpi_call
port. This includes trurnig off and on.

Mine boots fine from GPT disk. (My FreeBSD boots from the GPT disk.) I
am really surprised the X220 fails on them.

Sound works, but you need to change a couple of pins to get the audio
jack working. Add the following to /boot/loader.conf:
# Load the sound driver
snd_hda_load="YES"
# and setup headphones
# Out : speaker + headphones
hint.hdac.0.cad0.nid25.config="as=1 seq=15"
# In : mic + external mic
hint.hdac.0.cad0.nid35.config="as=2"
hint.hdac.0.cad0.nid27.config="as=2 seq=15"

I have not tried to use the HDMI, so I have no idea about it.
