Hi,

I have managed to get
xorg
mate
mate-desktop
xf86-video-fbdev
and with all the dependencies to compile/install on my RPI2 running FreeBSD11.
(a combination of qemu-arm emulation & native arm compiling with some quick hacks to src code etc)

The last thing remaining is to get a basic /etc/X11/xorg.conf file that will work with the RPI2

I have tried Xorg -configure and edited the file manually ... here is the current state. (I don't understand the layout.. I am just guessing)


Code: 
Section "ServerLayout"
  Identifier  "X.org Configured"
  Screen  0  "myfb" 0 0
  InputDevice  "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
  InputDevice  "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
  Identifier  "Keyboard0"
  Driver  "kbd"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
  Identifier  "Mouse0"
  Driver  "mouse"
  Option  "Protocol" "auto"
  Option  "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
  Option  "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
EndSection

Section "Device"
  Identifier "myfb"
  Driver "fbdev"
  Option "fbdev" "/dev/fb0"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
  Identifier  "Monitor0"
  VendorName  "Asus"
  ModelName  "24inch"
  Option "DPMS"
EndSection

I know there is a newer /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d directory but this seems far too complicated for what I need.

As soon as I get the graphical environment working I will clean up the image and share it.

Thanks for you help

I think you need to change the depth to 24:
Code: 
(EE) scfb(0): specified depth (16) or bpp (16) doesn't match framebuffer depth (24)

Click to expand...
Can you tell me why you need to natively compile some ports and what were your hacks to the src code?

The packages were not available using pkg install <pkg>. Which means they did not compile for the ARM platform.

When I tried to compile them myself from the ports, all failed with various issues... i.e. core dumps or other "silly" errors.

For those that would not compile (e.g. core dump) I compiled some using qemu on a amd64 version of FreeBSD, but qemu has issues with scripts, it was ignoring the script directive on the first line (i.e. /usr/local/bin/python27 or setenv python27)... I created a shell script which basically called a renamed version of the original script.... e.g. /usr/local/bin/python 27 <original script> $*"

Other ports didn't compile because of path issues.... not patched properly. i.e. one port was calling /nxb-bin/usr/bin/cc which was changed to /usr/bin/cc in all the Makefiles.

I probably should have been making notes... LOL

Changed depth to 24

I have the RPI2 plugged into a 4K 60" Panasonic TV via a HDMI port.

To got this working by editing (hacked)

/usr/ports/x11-drivers/xf86-video-scfb/work/xf86-video-scfb-bdeb3bf/src/scfb_driver.c

Added

Code: 
/* temporary hack */
pScrn->bitsPerPixel = fPtr->info.vi_depth;

/* Check consistency. */
  if (pScrn->bitsPerPixel != fPtr->info.vi_depth) {
  xf86DrvMsg(pScrn->scrnIndex, X_ERROR,
  "specified depth (%d) or bpp (%d) doesn't match "
  "framebuffer depth (%d)\n", pScrn->depth,
  pScrn->bitsPerPixel, fPtr->info.vi_depth);
  return FALSE;
  }

then I rebuilt the driver

cd /usr/ports/x11-drivers/xf86-video-scfb/work
rm .build* .install* .stage* stage*
cd ..
make deinstall
make install

Then started x11/mate-desktop

xinit mate-session

WORKS!!! (GUI x11/mate-desktop)

So the /etc/X11/xorg.conf is good... but there appears to be a strange issue...
perhaps around the resolution which seems a bit odd.
