Dell Latitude E5500

Tested on 11.2-RELEASE.

• CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU P8700 @ 2.53GHz (2527.05-MHz 686-class CPU)
• Memory: 3GB
• Wireless: Intel WiFi Link 5100 (iwn(4)).

Backlight	✔
Input devices	Touchpad		Model: GlidePoint. Neither two-finger nor side scrolling work. I'm yet to figure out how to configure it.

Media keys	Brightness	✔
	Volume keys	✔	Everything works although the mute button does not unmute (at least when using x11-wm/dwm).
Network	Ethernet
	Wi-Fi	✔	No need to load any firmware manually. It works better when using SYNCDHCP instead of DHCP in ifconfig_wlan0 in /etc/rc.conf.
Other	Battery	✔
	Bluetooth
	SD-card reader
	Smart-card reader
	Suspend & resume	✔	When using zzz(8) I am able to restore my X window sessions although I have to switch to other TTY consoles back and forth. It looks like it works much better if I use the media key with a moon on it (Fn+F1). This way everything just works flawlessly.
Ports	FireWire
	USB
	VGA
Sound	Headphone jack	✔
	Speakers	✔

• Legend
  • ✔ OK
  • Somewhat OK: requires additional tweaking or works worse than expected
  • Status unknown, untested
  • ✘ Does not work

• Add kld_list=“i915kms” to /etc/rc.conf in order to increase font size in the console (this kernel module is loaded automatically anyway when you start the X server). kms is short for kernel mode-switching, it lets the kernel do the modeswitching instead of it being done in userspace - this means that it applies to both console, Xorg, Wayland and any programs that set custom resolutions.

In the bootloader escape to the loader prompt and enter:

set hw.vga.textmode=1

Two-finger scrolling does not work out of the box.

I've tried adding the following mouse configuration into /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-mouse.conf but to no avail:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Mouse0"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option      "CorePointer"
        Option      "Protocol" "auto"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
        Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
        Option      "Emulate3Buttons" "false"
EndSection
