==== Support overview ====

^  Component  ^^  Status  ^  Details  ^

| Graphics  | Graphical sessions |  ✔  | X starts after installing //graphics/drm-next-kmod// and loading ///boot/modules/i915kms.ko//. I didn't test if it also works with the //i915kms// module from the base system. |

| Backlight (brightness) control |  ✔  | Controllable with //graphics/intel-backlight//. |
| Input devices  | Keyboard backlight |  ✘  | Maybe it requires some kernel modules? |

| Touchpad |  ✔  | Works out-of-the-box. The scrolling speed could be better tuned but it's a personal taste. |

==== Wi-Fi ====

The BCM4360 wireless network adapter does not seem to be supported just yet in the [[dev/bwn(4)|bwn(4)]] driver.

I installed the //net/bwn-firmware-kmod// port (it is not available via //pkg(8)// as its license does not allow for it) and then loaded the following kernel modules: //if_bwn//, //bwn_v4_ucode// and //bwn_v4_lp_ucode//. I've tried to load them once via //kldload(8)// and //rc.conf(5)// and once via //loader.conf(5)// but to no avail.

The device is not showing up as a result of //sysctl net.wlan.devices//.
