Hello,
I am currently trying to install FreeBSD 11.2 on an Acer Aspire E17 laptop. The graphical installation went fine, I then installed xorg and KDE via pkg.
Then I added to the /etc/fstab:
proc /proc procfs rw 0 0
edited the /etc/rc.conf
dbus_enable="YES"
hald_enable="YES"
kdm4_enable="YES"
I then installed the intel (the laptop has an Intel HD 500) driver: xf86-video-intel
After a reboot, I got this error:
(EE) Fatal server error:
(EE) Cannot run in framebuffer mode. Please specify busIDs for all framebuffer devices
I searched on the net and found the 5.4 Xorg configuration documentation. From that I figured that I had to setup the /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/driver-intel.conf
So I did a
pciconf -lv | grep -B3 display
with the result:
sub class = HOST-PCI
vgapci0@pci:0:0:2:0: class=0x030000 card=0x10861025 chip=0x5a858086 rev=0x0b hdr=0x00
vendor "Intel Corporation"
class = display
I then created the driver-intel.conf:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "intel"
BusID "PCI:0:0:2:0"
EndSection
After a reboot, I now get the error:
(EE) Fatal server error:
(EE) No screens found
I think that I somewhere made a newbie mistake (I am one), but am not sure where.
Any help would be really appreciated, as FreeBSD seems to be the only other OS other than Windows that seems to boot on this laptop.
Cheers
Ernesto
