Dear FreeBSD-X11, My thread on FreeBSD forums base system https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/55054/ helped me establish that buying an Intel NUC or System 76 with 5th Gen Broadwell Intel i3/i/5/i7 would be a no go for X11 on FreeBSD https://wiki.freebsd.org/Graphics Is it possible for me to contribute to the development and testing of driver support to get these chips working with the Intel HD Graphics 6000 6100 etc? And if I go for a 6th Gen Skylake Intel i3/i5/i7 is it possible and appropriate to contribute to development and testing on Skylake before Haswell or Broadwell support is finished? One thing worries me on Skylake is that I read that the Skylake chipset "retires VGA support" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_HD_and_Iris_Graphics#Skylake Does this mean I can't even get console working on Skylake? I'm not sure if Linux has support for Skylake yet either? Can I even install FreeBSD if I can't see console? What are the criteria for contributing to development and testing? Thanks AniilG
