question about installation freebsd

A

amigo

hello,
I would like to install freebsd, I have an old computer, thinkpad lenavo T520i, I found version 13.2 on the site, I downloaded it, but when I install everything goes well, I can't install xfce, I followed it though tutorials on youtube and I looked at the advice on the freebsd website, I don't know how to do it
 
hello, yes this is the message

Please don't post pictures of text. Besides, it only shows a partial log and it's the least interesting bit.

Post the whole thing: cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | nc termbin.com 9999
 
asume that you have a intel video card
try this simple steps:

pkg install drm-kmod
pkg install xf86-video-intel

dont know is necesary but reboot...

then run
X -configure
mv /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf

delete any log of X in /var/log
rm -v /var/log/Xorg*

and try again with startx

and if not working post the log that SirDice tells you
 
Don't need xf86-video-intel, that's an old Intel driver. Don't use X -configure, it's a relic from the past. It's rather prone to crashing too. Just stop using it, you don't need to create a full xorg.conf anymore, most of the settings from it are going to be ignored anyway.

Chapter 5. The X Window System

This chapter describes how to install and configure the X Window System providing a graphical environment

For the graphics/drm-kmod drivers you don't need an xorg.conf at all, everything should be automatically detected.
