Zotac ZBOX SD-ID12 and 9.1

zzsql · Mar 10, 2013

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) uncooperative about even hinting where to look. Google searches turned up vague answers.

The "Screen" section shows mostly 0 0 which I'm thinking can't be good; xorg version is 7.5.2, the latest.

Am I wasting my time on this Zotac? Was really interested in a FreeBSD box that was nearly silent like this thing is.

What video circuitry is on the system?

Post your xorg.conf. Also, please put /var/log/Xorg.0.log on a site like pastebin.com and post a link to it.

I've lost track--is that one of the ones that requires KMS?

Yes, apologies. Omitted the video info:
On board Video IntelÂ® 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.

Alright. I'll try that. Thanks again.
