Hi Daniel,
I have a laptop with a similar chipset. The issue is that the
inteldrm(4) driver does not support Skylake devices at the moment.
If you boot the machine EFI mode, efifb(4) should attach to the EFI
frame buffer. This in turn allows you to use Xorg's wsfb driver with an
/etc/X11/xorg.conf which looks like this:
Section "Device"
Identifier "default device"
Driver "wsfb"
EndSection
Apart from missing suspend/resume and 3D-acceleration, such a setup
seems to work nicely for me. Chrome/Firefox need to be taught not to use
graphics acceleration, and for mpv you need to use the commandline
parameter `-vo x11` to tell it to use oldschool X11 rendering.
Brightness control can be done with
https://github.com/jcs/intel_backlight_fbsd
if you set `machdep.allowaperture` to 3. Don't mind the `fbsd` in the
name, it works on OpenBSD as well.
