Problem with configuring X.org

Problem configuring X.org

Colleagues, please tell me what the problem is.

I am using a computer with an MSI MS-7D22 v.1.2 motherboard and an Intel Pentium Gold G6405 (Intel UHD Graphics 610) processor.
I installed FreeBSD on the computer, then Xorg, Slim and Xfce4.

When booting the computer and issuing the startx command, the following appears in the logs:

Code:

[ 22.251] (EE) intel(0): No modes.
[ 22.251] (II) UnloadModule: "intel"
[ 22.251] (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.
[ 22.251] (EE)
Fatal server error:
[ 22.251] (EE) no screens found(EE)
[ 22.251] (EE)
Please consult the X.Org Foundation support
at http://wiki.x.org
for help.
[ 22.251] (EE) Please also check the log file at "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" for additional information.
[ 22.251] (EE)
[ 22.357] (EE) Server terminated with error (1). Closing log file.

What am I doing wrong? How can I solve my problem?

Thank you for your advice,
Ogogon.

Hi,

Are you loading the DRM video driver before starting xorg?

Also nowadays you don't have to configure xorg for casual use.

I installed these packages:

Code:

ogogon@test# pkg info | grep drm
drm-510-kmod-5.10.163.1304000_10 DRM drivers modules
drm-kmod-20220907_3            Metaport of DRM modules for the linuxkpi-based KMS components
gpu-firmware-kmod-20241114,1   Firmware modules for the drm-kmod drivers
libdrm-2.4.123,1               Direct Rendering Manager library and headers
ogogon@test# pkg info | grep video-intel
xf86-video-intel-2.99.917.923_1,1 X.Org legacy driver for Intel integrated graphics chipsets
ogogon@test#

Do I need to explicitly load anything into in loader.conf, rc.conf, etc?

nxjoseph · Thursday at 12:57 AM

Yes if you want to load DRM modules everytime then you need a line in rc.conf but I wouldn't recommend doing it before trying if it works fine.

Code:

kld_list="i915kms"

For now, just run kldload i915kms as root and see if you can start xorg.

I believe it is already loaded automatically:

Code:

ogogon@test# kldload i915kms
kldload: can't load i915kms: module already loaded or in kernel

But, Xorg is not runned...

Is your user a member of video group? You can check by running groups username. Also maybe try removing legacy Intel driver and/or remove xorg configurations if you have any.

I add user 'root' into 'video' group. I remove legacy driver and /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.

Hmm, maybe you need xf86-video-intel package after removing all xorg configurations. Also I didn't mean to add root to video group but normal user if it hasn't added already.

I believe that 'slim' is run as root user. But I add user 'ogogon' into 'video' group.

Sorry but I don't know why it doesn't work, I hope you would find a solution to your problem.

You're not running X as root, are you? What is the output of the command

Bash:

pciconf -vl | grep -A3 vga

?
How many video cards are in your computer? If there is more than one, which one is used ? Have you set the BusID correctly in X configuration ?
i.e. :

Code:

Section "Device"
    Identifier     "Device0"
    Driver         "modesetting"
    BusID          "PCI:x:y:z"
EndSection

Dear All,

I have one ThinkPad X1 Carbon 5th, and last week the FreeBSD 12.2 has been installed on the Laptop. After the compilation of the x11/xorg, and added the user in the video group # pw groupmod video -m USER, at last I executed the #startx. But failed.
Error Message

Code:

[   126.525] (EE) open /dev/dri/card0: No such file or directory

Problem configuring X.org

Colleagues, please tell me what the problem is.

I am using a computer with an MSI MS-7D22 v.1.2 motherboard and an Intel Pentium Gold G6405 (Intel UHD Graphics 610) processor.
I installed FreeBSD on the computer, then Xorg, Slim and Xfce4.

When booting the computer and issuing the startx command, the following appears in the logs:
[ 22.251] (EE) intel(0): No modes. [ 22.251] (II) UnloadModule: "intel" [ 22.251] (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration. [ 22.251] (EE) Fatal server error: [ 22.251] (EE) no screens found(EE) [ 22.251] (EE) Please consult the X.Org Foundation support at http://wiki.x.org for help.

What am I doing wrong? How can I solve my problem?

Thank you for your advice,
Ogogon.

hi , ogogon :
you don't need confiure x.org first.

Is the firmware loaded?
dmesg |grep drm

If drm driver is actually running (not only simply loaded), this cannot be happen. Are you sure /dev/dri/card0 (would be a symlink to /dev/drm/[something]) actually exist and dated the time AFTER you started your computer?

drm-510-kmod-5.10.163.1304000_10 DRM drivers modules

suggests graphics/drm-510-kmod is built for 13.4-Release.
Are you sure you're running 13.4, not 13.3 or before, and not 14.x?

If you're running 13.3 or before, possibly any of prerequisite codes are missing or not updated on your base, thus, drm driver cannot work correctly. As 13.3 is already EoL'ed, if you installed 13.3 or older, update it at least to 13.4 (or to 14.2) first.

Note that 14.2 defaults drm-61-kmod (but some person states drm-515-kmod works better) and 14.1 reaches its EoL soon (Mar.31, 2025).

dmesg |grep drm

May be not loaded:

Code:

ogogon@test:/usr/ports# dmesg | grep drm
ogogon@test:/usr/ports#

How can I load it?

I believed that the FreeBSD, when loading, launches X.org and Slim from the root.

I believe that slim runs as service by root and it launches xorg with your normal user.

How do you load the drm module? is there anything relevant in loader.conf? what do you have in rc.conf?
Indeed, # dmesg | grep drm should show something to make sure drm module is loaded successfully.

eternal_noob · Thursday at 1:47 PM

Slim needs a proper .xinitrc to work.

I would remove it from the equation and try to run X.Org first without it (as a user).

If this works, try to make Slim work afterwards.
