Other Can't change display resolution away from the default 1920 x 1080

Code: 
pciconf -lv | grep -B4 VGA


Code: 
vgapci0@pci0:0:2:0:    class=0x030000 rev=0x09 hdr=0x00 vendor=0x8086 device=0x0166 subvendor=0x106b subdevice=0x0101
    vendor     = 'Intel Corporation'
    device     = '3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller'
    class      = display
    subclass   = VGA
 
pkg install drm-kmod
sysrc kld_list+="/boot/modules/i915kms.ko"
pkg install xf86-video-intel
reboot
exec mate(-desktop)
xrandr --verbose
 
so when i try to run mate and mate-desktop, i get command not found or something along those lines.
 
So what about exec dbus-launch --exit-with-x11 ck-launch-session mate-session?

This case, you'll need devel/dbus installed (would be already pulled in automatically) and enabled in your /etc/rc.conf with dbus_enable="YES" line. Possibly avahi_daemon_enable="YES", avahi_dnsconfd_enable="YES" and polkitd_enable="YES", too.

Hello l008com based upon your other thread about desktop-installer, you have switched from XFCE desktop environment to KDE desktop environment. So how did Mate desktop environment enter into the equation? you are getting an error returned because you do not have the Mate desktop environment installed (or do you?).

I suggest that you stick to the suggestions made to you in this thread: EDID and frequency information. Your choice of DE is not going to help in this case. Ignore the Mate desktop and explore the other suggestions:

Apple and Microsoft have a tendency to do things for you, whereas FreeBSD and, in certain cases, Linux just make things possible but leave it up to the user to decide/configure/use/et cetera. The dongle may work in MacOS but it may need some work to make it function in FreeBSD.
 
exec dbus-launch --exit-with-x11 ck-launch-session mate-session does nothing. It causes the console to close itself but beyond that, nothing happens.

Also yes I have switched from xfce4 to KDE. Not related to this resolution problem at all, I just gave it another try and realized I liked it more than xfce4 and switched to it. I didn't expect it to have any effect on the resolution problem, I've already seen that KDE on Ubuntu even has the same resolution problem. I don't know how mate enters into the equation? I don't know what mate is and i've never used it to my knowledge?

Since the resolution should work fine via remote desktop, this probably isn't a long term problem. Its more of just an inconvenience for right now. 720p would make the setup and usage of this test machine a lot easier. Maybe tonight I'll try hooking the mac mini up to a TV directly over HDMI and see what happens.

Although isn't the signal in DVI and HDMI the same? So an adapter like mine is just a physical port changer, not something that does any kind of conversion of a signal? I'll see what I get plugged in to a TV with it and go from there.

Add this in your .xinitrc... But the problem is not from the DE.

DVI != HDMI. DVI can be analog (DVI-A, digital (DVI-D) or all (DVI-I). HDMI add sound.
Signal is not the same and need to be converted. Generally by a microcontroller in a small box or directly in one of the connector.
That's your problem here. MacOS may has some configuration that work with the adapter and you need to make one yourself for Xorg/Wayland.
But as already asked, in the manual of your screen, there's explanation of how you can change the clock/sync when something go wrong. Find my post with a link to the manual of your screen.
 
OP nags, life sucks everything works fine on Mac and not FreeBSD.
Like I already asked, but without answer does it works fine with mate desktop ? Don't try something beta first like wayland if xorg does not work.
Second did he learned xrandr output and use/try out different sync lines if they worked ?
I did not think about audio.
