This sounds interesting. On X240 the vesa performance seems to be ok in MATE desktop. But problem is the lack of display configuration (eg: not any external monitor). Linux acpi driver also handles some extra keys that FreeBSD does not, for example brightness. This seems to be portable. The last think is the wifi card intel 7260, but iwl driver development branch seems to handle this as well (did not test). So I think it will be possible to use these notebooks maybe even in 10.1 release (I hope). Robert.
