  How is the graphics support in OpenBSD for the ThinkPad, and which model? I've found the recent P and X models underwhelming as far as hardware goes, and support in Linux hasn't been great in my experience. While I'd like to give BSD a try, I fear I'll have to deal with even more driver issues. For example, all video out ports on my X1 Extreme are wired to the dedicated NVIDIA card, which forces me to either use Nouveau which causes kernel panics, or use huge binary blobs from NVIDIA, which I'm reluctant to do for several reasons, one of which is breaking my initramfs image and making the system unbootable. I'm quite tired of the amount of these types of issues in the Linux ecosystem, so I'm very interested in trying something simpler and better thought out, as long as the hardware support is decent.
