Greetings,
I just got my new laptop (Sager NP5135) and it has the i7 640M with Intel GMA HD iGPU and an Nvidia GT425M Optimus card. I know that I cannot use this card in FreeBSD, but I thought that I could just use the onboard Intel graphics with either their driver or Vesa.
I installed FreeBSD 8.1 Release x64 a few days ago and updated the ports tree and installed X. Or at least tried. I got a few error messages so I updated the pkgdb and installed it successfully with pkg_add. When I tried to configure or startx, I get errors talking about multiple primary devices found and fatal errors, etc.
The /var/log/Xorg.0.log, /root/xorg.conf.new are attached. Please help. I had initially tried PCBSD but it complained of Xorg issues after I installed and could not get anywhere, so I went with FreeBSD knowing the forums could help me figure it out.
I have also updated /etc/rc.conf with hald and dbus.

Just to clarify, this is a laptop, with one screen. Not using the HDMI out to have a second screen. I saw something in a linux forum about deleting the nVidia driver to allow the intel or vesa driver to take over.
Also, when I try
error.
Thanks for the help and I apologize if my formatting sucks, but I just copied 400 lines of code and do not have the energy to format this too.
