Hello, I’m trying to install the correct video drivers for my laptop, according to the specifications of this old notebook I should have a ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250 Graphics. Following the xorg section of the handbook I installed graphics/drm-kmod drivers. I tried to move the /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf but these files were not there, so I went to the next step and created a file in /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ named driver-radeon.conf wit following code:
Then I added the following line to the /boot/loader.conf file
Restarted and x failed to load. My Xorg.0.log says could not find the module radeon! Was the drm-kmod the correct drivers to install?
Here’s my Xorg.0.log file:
Code:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "radeon"
EndSection
Then I added the following line to the /boot/loader.conf file
Code:
kern.vty=vt
Restarted and x failed to load. My Xorg.0.log says could not find the module radeon! Was the drm-kmod the correct drivers to install?
Here’s my Xorg.0.log file:
