Hello,
Thanks in advance for helping me resolve this issue. As the title suggest, I'm currently having issues with Xorg not finding my screen/monitor. I just finished installing the base system on an old Toshiba Satellite laptop using an ISO image downloaded from www.freebsd.org. After completing the installation, I proceeded to:
a) Install Xorg
b) Create individual configuration files for the video, monitor and resolution
c)Added my user to the video, wheel group.
d) Installed KDE and SDDM
Immediately after installing Xorg and before downloading KDE, I ran "startx" and got Xterm, which I thought meant I was on the right path. After installing KDE and SDDM, startx would no longer work and I kept getting the "No Screen Found". Here are the specs of the laptop I'm working with:
Toshiba Satellite C655D-S5136
AMD Athlon II P340 - 2.2 Ghz
6GB of Ram
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4225 (RS880M)
/usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/screen-resolution.conf
/usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/driver-radeon.conf
/etc/rc.conf
I've also installed "drm-fbsd12.0-kmod via pkg install and tried to build it from ports but failed with the following error:
Any suggestions on how to get around this issue are welcomed.
Thanks.
