Alright. Suppose I want to have an Xorg so I can manipulate dual monitors with xrandr, if I create an xorg.conf, which takes precedence? I'd guess the xorg.conf would be used.
Man, I really admire the unix powers you guys have. I'm working on building mine up with these projects. (And maybe a...
Associated question here. Can X operate without an /etc/X11/xorg.conf?
I ask because I built a nice Dell E6510 laptop with dual monitors.
X mirrors the same screen output to both monitors (I'm working on fixing that. Xrandr is probably the answer)
Problem is, I find no /etc/X11/xorg.conf yet X...
Yes. I did the make install clean from graphics/libdrm as suggested but got an error message saying "You may want to deinstall" so I did.
Then make reinstall, no error messages.
startx makes the screen go into power saving mode still.
The directions I followed are in the "Installing X11" from...
Stop in /usr/ports/graphics/libdrm
May want to make deinstall
Did so.
make reinstall
No error messages, startx screen goes to sleep.
No screens again in xorg.conf.

I usually handle my own computer problems but I followed the directions to the letter and...
I added this to /etc/rc.conf:
WITH_KMS=yes
WITH_NEW_XORG=yes
Installed xorg after a fresh FreeBSD 9 install and still get the damn "Monitor goes into power save" mode when I hit startx.
Error message says 'no screens found'.
Added one to xorg.conf, same damn thing.
I'm about to throw this...
Yes, apologies. Omitted the video info:
On board Video Intel® GMA 3150
I'm really happy with the box otherwise. It's nearly silent, takes little power and space.
Just hope to have X running with a nice gnome2 install if we can get that far.

Has anybody ever gotten X to run on Zotac ZBOX SD-ID12 with 9.1? I followed the handbook to the letter and only get a black screen b/c because the monitor goes into power save. No ctrl+alt+Backspace gets me out and I am forced to reboot.
The smartasses on #freebsdHELP were (as usual)...
Why did they break pkg_add?
Most of my experience was with FreeBSD5 and it worked like a charm out of the box.
Now, it fails every time, just like wireless used to work. Now it's broken.
Is this progress?
