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
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.

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.

One nit with the laptop is I needed to use an external USB flash drive to store /boot on an MBR partition, because my hard drives are GPT-partitioned using ZFS on '/' on GELI-encrypted providers. Otherwise, I have noticed that using the /boot on the GPT disk enforces low resolution graphics (640x480 IIRC). By using a USB flash drive for /boot, I can get 1920x1080 resolution (one of the many reasons for choosing this laptop). (I've been meaning to put this into the FreeBSD Wiki, but EBUSY.)

Broadwell Support FreeBSD 10.1
Hi group, New to this group, and new to FreeBSD via PC-BSD. Really like it so far. Sorry if this has been asked to death already. Levono has their new T450 with the 5th gen intel Broadwell i5 processor. I bought it with the hopes of running PC-BSD latest version on it. It uses intel 5500 graphics as well.
