Hi all,
I have a ASUS Zenbook UX430U with the same problem. I am heading to
BSDCan (and the FreeBSD Dev Submit as a guest) this week and could spend
some time working on this in the hacker lounge. That said, I am new to
FreeBSD driver code, so I could use some guidance to help me along.
Anyone headed to the conference that might be able to lend me a hand?
Thanks,
Brian
