There are two long tickets about this. Take a look at tickets 248659
<https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D248659>; and 253288
<https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D253288>. This problem
appeared in 13-current in Jan 2020 and I first saw it on my new Lenovo L15
that summer. It appears specific to Lenovo laptops. It appears that similar
issues have been seen with Linux.
