Intel Skylake i5-6200U graphics driver in FreeBSD 14.5-RC1

The device section can be "intel" or "modesetting"

Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "modesetting"
BusID "pci:0:2:0"
EndSection

After setting the modesetting driver, X.org does not start (using startx) before the i915kms had been loaded into the kernel (kld_list="i915kms" in /etc/rc.conf).

The pixel-stepped image copied and pasted in the posts from xfce4-terminal has nothing to do with the i915kms.ko and loading the correct driver. :rolleyes:

Bottom line​

Is this the bottom line, answer to the question in the post overall: add Driver "intel" or Driver "modesetting" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf . Then see if anti-aliasing can be set on from the xfce4-terminal (to-do) and read the Handbook section 5.6.3 about the fonts (to-do).

Any further help is of course appreciated.
 
escape out of curiosity, do you get the same behaviour when using xlibre? I'm asking because the implementations are not 1:1 and in the past I had issues with driver loading in xlibre that didn't happen on xorg (but currently I don't have any issues).
 
Here is a zoomed screenshot of lightly rendered text. The "anti-aliasing" setting is in the desktop settings.

It looks like the case can be closed.

fahrenheit the xlibre is not installed.
