Intel problem with X

S

Stringer

Hello, FreeBSD Forum. I been using FreeBSD for some times and for me it always Xorg that are my "worst" enemy. But to the point. I got an laptop some weeks ago and it had a Intel GMA 4500. So installed FreeBSD with Xorg and intel's driver. Enabled hal and dbus, then typed startx, it doesn't start and then show the error:
no screens found.

I will post the Xorg.0.log later if needed.
So i wonder if it is anything wrong i have done or that it doesn't support Intel GMA 4500MHD.
 
You seem to have some problems with permissions in /dev:

Code: 
(WW) checkDevMem: failed to open /dev/mem (Operation not permitted)

(WW) xf86EnableIO: Failed to open /dev/io for extended I/O(EE) No devices detected.

Your configuration also seems to use the vesa driver, not the Intel:

Code: 
                Driver  "vesa"

Yeah, but the strange thing is that i can't do xorg -config xorg.conf.new then it will only show me what dirvers there is.

I've done that i still get the error:
Code: 
(EE) No devices detected.
Fatal server error:
no screens found.
In xorg.conf:
Section "Device"
      Identifier "card0"
      Driver     "intel"
      VendorName "Videocard vendor"
      BoardName  "Intel GMA 4500MHD"
      BusID      "PCI:0:2:0"
 
Code: 
Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen0"
        Device     "card0"
        Monitor    "Monitor0"
        DefaultDepth     24
        SubSection "Display"

Well this was what PC-BSD's pre-install xorg.conf gave me when i tested it from a CD.
