Glen Glen, in the past I briefly tested the uefi bootloader on a Lenovo T440s including with scfb and I believe the default resolution would raise to native if I also disabled CSM mode in the bios. This affected the console mode as well as scfb which both inherit the framebuffer from the uefi GOP as I understand it. Have you tried that? You should be able to demonstrate it while booted from a uefi boot stick, no permanent system changes necessary. I've also been looking forward to see if this trick works with uefi since xf86-video-scfb performance was perfectly usable on a uefi booted mac but not the lenovo: https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/xorg-vesa-driver-massive-speedup-using-mtrr-write-combine.46723/ ___ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Re: Broadwell Support FreeBSD 10.1
I have a 4th gen core i3 running PC-BSD 10.1 in which I let the installer do its thing. It uses zfs for / but it's not encrypted. It gave me the laptop's native res which I think is 1366 x 768. I have a 4th gen desktop installed the same way which is giving me 1920x1080. I'm not sure how it dealt with the hard drive. I'd have to check.

Re: Broadwell Support FreeBSD 10.1
What a coincidence, I'm looking at getting a Broadwell micro PC. I'm looking at this Broadwell model: http://www.gigabyte.com.au/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4888#ov At the moment, I don't mind not having X but I would like it eventually, is there any idea on when Iris Pro support would be done? If not for a while are discrete Nvidia cards such as the 760 ( Which another model has ) which I can find in http://www.gigabyte.com.au/products/product-page.aspx?pid=5156#ov stable? Last time I used X with a GTX680 it would crash twice a week. Cheers, Brendan.
