I have converted an old iMac (late 2013) into a strict freeBSD machine.
Therefore, before I start doing more research on setting it up, will xorg even
work on it?
Thank you
I believe Xorg should work on this hardware. We've recently done quite
a bit of work getting our DRM drivers in sync with Linux. Please check
out the recently updated wiki here:
https://wiki.freebsd.org/Graphics#Intel_Integrated_Graphics_.28aka_HD_Graphics.29
I would suggest first installing the "drm-kmod" and following the
instructions to see if works on your end. If that fails, uninstall
"drm-kmod" and install "drm-legacy-kmod" which includes older DRM code
that may work better on your hardware.
Also, freebsd-...@freebsd.org is a good mailing list to join.
Hope this helps!
