Good morning guys, searching an advice,
my ”startx” fails with Fatal server error: (EE) AddScreen/ScreenINIT failed for driver 0
if there are no .conf files in /use/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d so I think corn auto configuration should take place.
or with Fatal server error: (EE) no screens found(EE)
if trying to use driver-intel.conf with device Driver “intel” in it.
Surprisingly ”startx” works ok if Driver is “vesa” (just only console is blank when coming back from X) or even better with Driver “scfb” it works just fine, unfortunately I guess this way I’m not using real i915kms driver for my intel graphics card. Which I think would be preferred solution.
What I did:
obviously I have installed drm-kmod and xorg packages (according to handbook chapt. 5.4.5).
i have kern.vty=vt in my /boot/loader.conf
i have kld_list=“/boot/modules/i915kms.ko" in /etc/rc.conf
I’m sure from kldstat that i915kms is loaded successfully. (Also console font is correct, nicely sharp and small, using native screen resolution, which was not the case before i915kms was used.)
My display device is vgapci0@pci0:0:2:0 - Intel Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller.
Laptop is an old intel Centrino Duo from 2007 32-bit non-UEFI boot but on GPT partition. Installed is FreeBSD 12.1-RELEASE i386.
Any advice please, how to run X with intel i915kms properl? What is correct Driver name and correct BusID?
Thanks a lot...
