It's all in CURRENT, see http://blog.grem.de/pages/c720.html. Brightness control is done through graphics/intel-backlight (should work on other Intel GPUs as well). Auto-brightness control works as well (using the new isl driver). HDMI works in VESA mode (mirrors the internal display). It suspends but won't resume, probably due to video, I was never able to really figure that one out. Tried an early version of 915i about half a year ago with limited success, will try again at/after EuroBSDCon. There are a couple of people who helped me testing and most of them seem quite happy with the results (no suspend/resume being the only real caveat). - Michael > Russell > >> matthias > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list > https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org" _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
