Hello,
I have connected a TV to my laptop's VGA connector which works mostly
fine. The issues are:
- LVDS-1 shows only 48 lines,  while VGA-1 show 67; i.e. one can not see
  on the LCD what the user types;
- when on boot the VGA is not connected, I can not get it to work
  without a re-boot; there is a key to switch (Fn+F8) which does
  not work;
in loader.conf I have set:
kern.vty=vt
hw.vga.textmode=1
i915kms_load="YES"
The system is a recent 12-CURRENT amd64.
Any idea?
	matthias
