Trouble with track-pad under X.org
Using the track-pad under X.org is currently not possible. There is a focus bug (seems also to occur under other OS's), that makes using multiple windows in X.org impossible. The mouse pointer behaves as if the user was clicking in a window, holding the mouse button pressed, and then moving the cursor. Using the buttons and taps don't release this, only switching to the tty terminal would release the focus.
The workaround to this problem is to not use the track-pad but an external mouse.
Internal card-reader doesn't work

Modifications
To have better vt experience I use the following /etc/loader.conf:
i915kms_load="YES"
In order to make shutdown work I had to change the following sysctl:
hw.usb.no_shutdown_wait=1
X.org
Not tested is the external monitor support, but xrandr did recognize the external VGA port:
