Dell Latitude E7470

  • CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6600U CPU @ 2.60GHz (2808.14-MHz K8-class CPU)
  • Wireless: Intel Dual Band Wireless AC 8260, supported by iwm(4), works
  • Wired Ethernet: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection 7.6.1-k, supported by em(4), works
  • Graphics: Intel Skylake, supported by drm-next branch, works with some issues with external connectors
  • Sound: Realtek ALC293, works, also correctly detects plugging in the headphones
  • Suspend/resume: untested
  • Fn keys: only toggling keyboard backlight works; other keys (volume, display brightness, wifi toggle) do not
  • Add kld_list=“if_iwm” to /etc/rc.conf
  • Display brightness is too high by default. It can be tuned with https://github.com/FreeBSDDesktop/intel_backlight_fbsd, but it's reset when display goes to sleep. I've ended up by tuning it in the BIOS.
  • May also add coretemp to kld_list
  • Don't forget to add your user to video group for xrandr to work properly
  • Removing xorg.conf is also recommended, as having it may interfere with dynamic detection of external displays and lead to system panics.
