Good day!

Decided to open a new post to piece together the steps for configuring the Integrated Graphics Controller From Intel. I think it will be interesting to all owners of laptops with similar adapters.

Input data:
Notebook ASUS X555LJ on Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-4005U CPU @ 1.70GHz
Installed FreeBSD 10.2 RELEASE amd64
Notebook have TWO Graphics Controller, Second - nVidia GeForce 920M

On page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_graphics_processing_units
may be find description about Core i3-4005U and find:
Graphics HD Graphics 4400 with Code name Haswell Launch On 2013 year.

$pciconf -lvb
Code: 
vgapci0@pci0:0:2:0:  class=0x030000 card=0x1a6d1043 chip=0x0a168086 rev=0x0b hdr=0x00
  vendor  = 'Intel Corporation'
  device  = 'Haswell-ULT Integrated Graphics Controller'
  class  = display
  subclass  = VGA
  bar  [10] = type Memory, range 64, base 0xa1400000, size 4194304, enabled
  bar  [18] = type Prefetchable Memory, range 64, base 0xb0000000, size 268435456, enabled
  bar  [20] = type I/O Port, range 32, base 0x5000, size 64, enabled

...

vgapci1@pci0:4:0:0:  class=0x030200 card=0x1a6d1043 chip=0x129910de rev=0xa1 hdr=0x00

  bar  [24] = type I/O Port, range 32, base 0x3000, size 128, enabled

Then install:
X.Org X Server 1.17.4
/usr/ports/x11/nvidia-driver
/usr/ports/x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel
and other needed port.

All was well until that's up and running X.org.

Why (EE) No devices detected. ???
There are also HD Graphics 4400 in the list of adapters.

/etc/X11/xorg.conf
Code: 
Section "Device"
  Identifier  "Card0"
  Driver  "intel"
  BusID  "PCI:0:2:0"
EndSection

Or is this the wrong adapter?

What to do? What plan of action?
The core may need to collect more: what to include and what to disable.
 
Don't install both drivers. The NVidia driver replaces a couple of Xorg libraries:
Code: 
[  2838.870] (II) Loading /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so
[  2838.885] (II) Module glx: vendor="NVIDIA Corporation"
[  2838.885]  compiled for 4.0.2, module version = 1.0.0
[  2838.885]  Module class: X.Org Server Extension
And the Intel driver expects the original Xorg libraries.

I'd suggest trying to get it to work using the NVidia driver and not enable the Intel graphics.
 
Good day!
Card Intel vgapci0@pci0:0:2:0: main unit, card nVidia vgapci1@pci0:4:0:0: additional.
Intel card connected to the laptop display and the nVidia card gives the two connector: VGA and HDMI.
There is no options - I want the primary display.
Another question.
What's the difference how many cards and displays?
Intel does not see your adapter. There is a suspicion that notebook another graphics adapter, no HD Graphics 4400.

how to accurately know the Intel driver x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel for the adapter or not?

Also, I tried to remove the nvidia driver x11/nvidia-driver - error is the same.
 
Let us examine the output of the command: pciconf -lvb

Code: 
vgapci0@pci0:0:2:0:  class=0x030000 card=0x1a6d1043 chip=0x0a168086 rev=0x0b hdr=0x00

card=0x1a6d1043 => 1a6d=(???) 1043=(ASUSTeK Computer Inc.)
chip=0x0a168086 => 0a16=(Haswell-ULT Integrated Graphics Controller) 8086=(Intel Corporation)

This examine based on file /usr/share/misc/pci_vendors for FreeBSD 10.2 RELEASE-p12 dated:
Code: 
#  Version: 2012.10.24
#  Date:  2012-10-24 03:15:01
Very very old database of vendor and device.

But in file /usr/share/misc/pci_vendors for FreeBSD 11.0 from revision 295843 dated:
Code: 
#  Version: 2015.07.31
#  Date:  2015-07-31 03:15:02
nothing has changed.
That is, the operating system itself already knows about these chips, but graphics drivers are still not implemented support.

I it to what. How the upgrade to version 11 of FreeBSD to change the situation? Or there is the interaction of graphics drivers and operating system components? Because the drivers are x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel is a separate component and why they can't see the device, which supposedly is supported.

How to find a list of all devices supported by the driver x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel? In the source code or something to go...
 
New survey.

In file /usr/ports/x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel/work/xf86-video-intel-2.21.15/src/intel_driver.h
i found my chip:
#define PCI_CHIP_HASWELL_ULT_M_GT2 0x0A16

Therefore, it is unclear why the driver does not found my device?

Next in /usr/ports/x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel/Makefile:
PORTNAME= xf86-video-intel
PORTVERSION= 2.21.15
PORTREVISION= 9
CATEGORIES= x11-drivers

and in /usr/ports/x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel/work/xf86-video-intel-2.21.15/ChangeLog:

commit f57ce6ef9ca735d5cb428b2f12f1f9413a70506a
Author: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk>
Date: Wed Aug 21 12:20:29 2013 +0100
2.21.15 release
...

All is good, but the last changes were made on August 21, 2013.
Turns out these drivers is not relevant at all. Is this normal?
 
Forgot to say.
While working through the driver /usr/ports/x11-drivers/xf86-video-vesa.
Still lack of "transparency".
 
Yeah. Then the drivers should be called /usr/ports/x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel-legend
 
Good evening!
After a week of testing, trial and error ...
(Oh .. or am I complicating or doing something wrong)

Updated to version 11.0 (FreeBSD 11.0-CURRENT #0: Mon Feb 29 12:06:22 YEKT 2016)
To use the r295683 since it was made in the latest snapshots dated 17 February 2016. Prior to that, was an attempt to use a later version, but stopped, as there were build errors.

Were done all stages updates: buildworld, buildkernel and mergemaster. Everything works. I almost didn't notice the difference - as if minor version changed.

But the Intel driver does not detect a video adapter, again!

Let me remind you that the laptop have two graphics cards - integrated Intel and discrete vNidia.

https://wiki.freebsd.org/Graphics/Update i915 GPU driver to Linux 3.8
it is said that the new update version of the Linux kernel to 3.8, but I can see an old version of Linux.
sysctl compat.linux.osrelease
compat.linux.osrelease: 2.6.32

Excuse me, but what a separate branch, which exists separately from the STABLE and CURRENT?
How to work with it, then how to update and maintain?
What is the probability that this work will be included in 11-RELEASE and not have to wait for next version to STABLE or CURRENT?

Good people, what to do now? Where to go next?

The sysctl(8) has nothing to do with GPU support - it is related to the Linux emulation, which is not needed in regards of this driver.

Development of this driver and kernel needed parts is done in separate repository on Github. Wikipage you mentioned contains info how to build and install kernel with needed bits. However it is ongoing work, things may broke or not function at all. Zero support included.
 
That is, it makes no sense to update the version 10.2 RELEASE to 11-CURRENT or 11.0-RELEASE?
In which version will apply these changes?
 
11-CURRENT is not supported here on the forums at all: Thread 40469. You can however ask your questions on the freebsd-current mailing list.

Additionally, your hardware is using Nvidia Optimus technology which is not supported under FreeBSD at all. If I recall, some FreeBSD users have been able to configure the Intel or Nvidia driver only and have it work successfully but it normally will not work and is not supported at all.
 
Sorry, I don't understand what you are asking for. Regarding Linux - somebody, probably intel, develops the driver for unix-like systems on Linux systems. Then it is easier for the FreeBSD developers to mimic some interfaces in our kernel and relatively straightforward port the driver then change each Linux system call in each driver which we want ported to the way FreeBSD does things.

Regarding CURRENT and other/multiple versions - It is usual that developer take copy of the source tree and works locally/outside on it, especially with longtime projects like this one. When the work is done, his local changes are merged back to the project tree. This way ensures that many people can do many incompatible changes without breaking each other work.
 
And to the protocelts' post - this forum is aimed primarily to the end users of the FreeBSD system. HEAD/CURRENT branch is work in progress, considered not suitable for production use and thus not for regular users, but only for developers and testers. There is not enough manpower here to support beginners with questions like "I just rebuilt my 11.nothing system and it doesn't boot now".
 
Yes, of course, it's open source. :)
I just want to know when will support for Intel FreeBSD.
Wait for it at all and to what version? It is clear that it is not for You.

With regard to assistance, this question is correct.
The state of Intel or Asus will be more.
And then there are a number of political issues.
In this respect, nVidia is being very reasonable.

Well, until there is nothing left to wait for. And still need to return the system and make a downgrade.
