Re: CURRENT, X11 on i5-4200M Haswell and iGPU graphics HD4600: Status?

Hi Oliver,

The Current branch does not yet include the latest intel drivers with the
Haswell support.
To test the latest code follow the directions on this website:
https://wiki.freebsd.org/Graphics/Update%20i915%20GPU%20driver%20to%20Linux%203.8

Br,

Tommi
