2. When I try Xorg -configure the screen on my laptop goes dark but the computer's is running because I can connect to it by ssh. When I repeat the command remotely I get:

Add the output of hostname to/etc/hosts, for example:

Code:

::1 localhost [hostname]
127.0.0.1 localhost [hostname]

Start without a xorg.conf file: it is often unnecessary. Nevertheless, the symptoms seem to indicate that your GPU is not supported, what it is? Post the output of dmesg and pciconf -lvbce.

Thank You for a swift reply (and for the comment on formatting - I will try to apply the rules as best I can).

Here is the: dmesg output:

This is an old Atom, they are very slow but work. I have an Acer Aspire D250 here, but it still has 10.0-STABLE and the old version of Xorg. It runs. /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf is present but empty.

Please stop using -configure.

Update started, but it will take a while.

PeterY · Sep 20, 2015

That is exactly why I thought that something like FreeBSD will work way better than Windows 7 that used to be installed on this laptop.
Is there a way to get this X running on this system?
If I understood you correctly - if I install the older 10.10-STABLE version it will run?

wblock@ · Sep 20, 2015

The current X will work. I just can't tell exactly what the configuration should be until I finish updating this system. It is still compiling the operating system from when I posted earlier. After that, I'll start updating ports.

wblock@ · Sep 22, 2015

Finally finished updating. This is an Acer Aspire D250 with an Atom N270 processor. The operating system is FreeBSD 10-STABLE r288024 i386.

It starts X with no xorg.conf and runs fine.

Which specific version of that Asus Eee Seashell do you have?

PeterY · Sep 24, 2015

It's the 1215N model.
