Thanks Warren. But this sounds even more frustrating now. I look around the web even at Le= novo's support forum. Many people report the GT 740M nVidia adaptor as a discrete adaptor = with Optimus technology and everything sounds to me like it can be selected exclusively.= What you describes is that I definitely need to use the HD4600 iGPU on FreeBSD in th= e first place since the nVidia hardware is a kind of "appendix" to the HD4600. Anyway, I also tried to configure X11 as HD4600 only and X11 doesn't work p= roperly: it doesn't even start up and loading the "intel" driver complains about a miss= ing device - preceeded by a lot of /dev/dri errors. This indicates to me, in a naiv mann= er, that this HD4600 isn't recodnized by the kernel, either. I do not see any kind of vga= 0: entry in the kernel log when enabling "Integrated Graphics" only in the laptop's UEF= I/Firmware. When enabling "nVidia Optimus", a recognized vga0: device shows up. =46rom my server, equipted with a IvyBridge i3-class CPU with integrated iGPU= , I even get this message from 11.0-CURRENT: vgapci0@pci0:0:2:0: class=3D0x030000 card=3D0x01521849 chip=3D0x0152808= 6 rev=3D0x09 hdr=3D0x00 vendor =3D 'Intel Corporation' device =3D 'Xeon E3-1200 v2/3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Control= ler' class =3D display subclass =3D VGA bar [10] =3D type Memory, range 64, base 0xf7800000, size 4194304, en= abled bar [18] =3D type Prefetchable Memory, range 64, base 0xe0000000, siz= e 268435456, enabled bar [20] =3D type I/O Port, range 32, base 0xf000, size 64, enabl= ed cap 05[90] =3D MSI supports 1 message=20 cap 01[d0] =3D powerspec 2 supports D0 D3 current D0 cap 13[a4] =3D PCI Advanced Features: FLR TP The very same CURRENT (most recent as I built world on all system today) do= esn't recognize the Haswell's HD4600 iGPU (i5-4200M).
