I have just loaded FreeBSD-15.0-CURRENT-amd64 onto a Thinkpad T16.
I experienced significant slowness of response (or sluggishness)
with any native keyboard keypress. It does allow me to login as
root, but it is a very time consuming process.
Hooking up an external USB keyboard, and everything worked fine.
I have not seen this happen in the past loading FreeBSD onto
a Thinkpad. I have seached the net for clues, but it seems
most of the hits are problems using Xorg/x11, while this is
a virtual terminal situation -- I have yet to install any
ports, let alone Xorg/x11.
In order to avoid the system hanging during the installation
using a thumbdrive (memstick) I had to "unset" an entry in
/boot/device.hints "
hint.uart.1.at".
I don't know which area to focus on: 15.0-CURRENT, the BIOS,
the T16 itself, or something about virtual terminals.
Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
