Hi everyone,
After having read many threads about problems similar to mine, I still have not found a solution that worked for me; so I will try and describe my situation.
I am new to FreeBSD (coming from Linux) and decided to install it on my ASUS X43SD (2012 laptop). Everything was going fine until I wanted to install the GUI.
First odd thing, it seems that I have two GPUs :
Is this a usual configuration that I'm not familiar with?
Anyway, after installing X.org, the simple command
So I tried
Here is the xorg.conf.new file: http://pastebin.com/YvVwAH3c
And the subsequent log: http://pastebin.com/XFSkzD4D
In both logs, there seems to be a problem with the module fbdevhw. I have installed the drivers x11-drivers/xf86-video-fbdev, x11/nvidia-driver and x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel, still getting the same results.
At that point, I tried to manually edit the xorg.conf: I left only one monitor, and one driver, the nvidia one. Here is the modified xorg.conf.new: http://pastebin.com/zXSx9trP
Then the result of
Only I don't really agree, since nothing works.
That's it, sorry about the long, boring description. If you have any idea that could help me with this mess, I would greatly appreciate.
Thanks in advance.

Code:
# lspci | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF119M [GeForce 610M] (rev a1)
Is this a usual configuration that I'm not familiar with?
Anyway, after installing X.org, the simple command
startx
(with hald and dbus enabled and running) doesn't work. I get the error "no screens found" (log: http://pastebin.com/3wvLr1Eg).So I tried
Xorg -configure
. But first of all, it froze my laptop (screen turned black and I could not go back to the console; the only controls I could were Ctrl+Alt+Del to reboot and the power button to shut down). It created the /root/xorg.conf.new file though, but what was in it does not seem to make sense, like I have 6 monitors.Here is the xorg.conf.new file: http://pastebin.com/YvVwAH3c

Then the result of
startx
was more interesting. The error "no screens found" is gone, but basically nothing happens, the console cursor disappears. This time though, I was able to go back to the console hitting Ctrl+Alt+F1. The log file seems to state that everything is OK: http://pastebin.com/dJVBmQH6Only I don't really agree, since nothing works.
