It’s taken me longer than I would’ve liked to work this one out but I’ve finally managed to disable the trackpad on my Lenovo X131e while still leaving the trackpoint (stick) working.

If you’ve messed up your /etc/rc.conf then there’s a good chance you’re unable to boot your system and by extension are unable to fix your mistake.

I recently installed FreeBSD for the first time and installed it on my Lenovo X131e. I instantly began battling with it’s evil Broadcom wireless card. This card had caused me endless trouble on Linux. After messing around with it for an hour or two I decided that this was the final straw and pulled the card out. I shoved it in a draw and plan to never look at it again!
