Hi, I'm new to FreeBSD.
I have been searching the forum, and googled, but haven't found an answer to this question.
I have a HP EliteBook 850, 14" screen.
Installing Xorg seems a bit tricky.
I have installed Xorg, dbus (and enabled it in /etc/rc.conf), a windowmanager (dwm) and edited my .xinitrc to execute dwm.
When I run startx I get:
Fatal server error:
(EE) no screens found
After installation /etc/X11 is empty, that is, there is no xorg.conf-file
Generating it with Xorg -configure gives me this config-file:
Copying this file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf doesn't solve the problem.
In the "Monitor section" it lists the two monitors, but says: VendorName = "Vendor Name" and ModelName = "Model Name"
Changing these to:
or
yields the same result when running startx.
Any clues to where the fault is?
Should I use /etx/X11/xorg.conf or /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf?
On my linux-boxes there is no xorg.conf in /etc/X11
I installed debian and LinuxMint on the HP EliteBook, and there X worked right out of the box!
Thanks
Severino

Changing these to:
Code:
VendorName = "unknown"
ModelName = "unknown"
Code:
VendorName = "generic"
