Xorg -configure
is partially broken. Xorg -configure
is partially broken.Good news!Thanks to Beeblebrox's reply, I got the idea of trying FreeBSD 11 and everything worked fine! Thank you all for your help!
Feel free to simply edit the title of your initial post by prefacing it with [SOLVED]. Or use the drop-down, if it's available.P.S: How should I mark this thread? I didn't face the problem, I just tried something else.
Xorg -configure
, add Load "dri" in xorg.conf.new and finally rename and move it into /etc/X11/ directory. This worked in 9.3 and 10.1 versions equally. Xorg -configure
. It produces configuration files with lots of redundant, obsolete noise. Instead, try to run X without any xorg.conf at all. Most of the time, it works, and autoconfigures correctly.I am using a non-US keyboard and if I try that, I am left with the wrong layout. Or has anything changed lately? wblock@, hard coding the defaults sure is a disadvantage, if the defaults make problems for a lot (maybe the majority) of users.I think what wblock@ means by "noise" here, is that most the stanzas in xorg.conf(5) are unnecessary; as Xorg, w/o xorg.conf(5), just "does the right thing".

But, for the record; I too use Xorg -configure. Mostly, because 1) I use the nVidia blob, and 2) old habits die hard.
