While Linux now as the device is listed as stable on the latest kernel, FreeBSD is not there, yet, and probably won't be until it reaches a long-term support version. That leaves me with a nice paper weight. I assume that I should be able to use SCFB or VESA toi et some graphics support, but the attempt to start X results in a log entry that no graphic device can be found. pciconf -lc reports: gapci0@pci0:0:2:0: class=0x030000 rev=0x0c hdr=0x00 vendor=0x8086 device=0x4628 subvendor=0x17aa subdevice=0x22e8 vendor = 'Intel Corporation' device = 'Alder Lake-UP3 GT2 [UHD Graphics]' class = display subclass = VGA How do I make X recognise this device so that I can get graphics to work? Something like this, maybe? pkg install xf86-video-scfb cat >/usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/driver-scfb.conf<<EOF Section "Device" Identifier "Device0" Driver "scfb" Option "NoAccel" "On" EndSection EOF Best Thanks! -- Kevin Oberman, Part time kid herder and retired Network Engineer E-mail: [email protected] PGP Fingerprint: D03FB98AFA78E3B78C1694B318AB39EF1B055683
