Hi,

Is there any outlook on when/if Broadwell support might be added?

I have an Intel NUC5i7RYH which has an i7-5557 with a 6100 integrated GPU and
would really like to be able to run X on it. I'm currently running:

FreeBSD yoda.immure.com 10.3-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 10.3-PRERELEASE #0 r295134: Mon Feb  1 20:56:12 CST 2016     bob at yoda.immure.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64

on it, but unable to configure X due to the GPU:

vgapci0 at pci0:0:2:0:     class=0x030000 card=0x20578086 chip=0x162b8086 rev=0x09 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Intel Corporation'
    device     = 'Broadwell-U Integrated Graphics'
    class      = display
    subclass   = VGA

Thanks,
Bob
