Good Day!
I'm new to FreeBSD and forum. Greeting to all! I do just install fresh version of FreeBSD 10.2-RELEASE amd64. As per handbook was installed xorg, i.e.
After completion I do run
Further, I do check the log of /var/log/Xorg.0.log and found there error for absence of fbdev module. In order to add fbdev(8) module , I do install package xf86-video-fbdev-0.4.4_7.
After package installation fbdev(4)' error gone from /var/log/Xorg.0.log, but appeared new one for fbdevhw(4), i.e.
Partial log might be seen below:
and extract regarding fbdev and fbdevhw below from /var/log/Xorg.0.log:
For now I do understood that fbdev / fbdevhw not needed for Intel graphics - those loaded due to the built-in xorg.conf configuration.
I tried to disable loading of the module fbdev, but in such case
Logically that there are 3 options (as far as understood for me):
If the best option is No. 1, then I should remove xorg package and install xorg from ports with no support of fbdev? It is rather long on my laptop...
Maybe there is some kind faster option to gain result with no full xorg package removal and installation from ports?
Thanks for your attention to reading that post and your kind assistance to newbie.
I'm new to FreeBSD and forum. Greeting to all! I do just install fresh version of FreeBSD 10.2-RELEASE amd64. As per handbook was installed xorg, i.e.
pkg install xorg
.After completion I do run
Xorg -configure
, but receive blank screen with only one function of ctrl+alt+del to reboot... Further, I do install kde by pkg install x11/kde4
. KDE starts using startx
and works. No claims to KDE.Further, I do check the log of /var/log/Xorg.0.log and found there error for absence of fbdev module. In order to add fbdev(8) module , I do install package xf86-video-fbdev-0.4.4_7.
After package installation fbdev(4)' error gone from /var/log/Xorg.0.log, but appeared new one for fbdevhw(4), i.e.
Code:
'(EE) LoadModule: Module fbdevhw does not have a fbdevhwModuleData data object.'

For now I do understood that fbdev / fbdevhw not needed for Intel graphics - those loaded due to the built-in xorg.conf configuration.
I tried to disable loading of the module fbdev, but in such case
startx
not working.Logically that there are 3 options (as far as understood for me):
- Either fully remove fbdev drivers from Xorg by packages removal?
- Either recompile Xorg for Intel support only?
- Either not look and forget the errors in the Xorg log (however this is not my way...)?
If the best option is No. 1, then I should remove xorg package and install xorg from ports with no support of fbdev? It is rather long on my laptop...
Maybe there is some kind faster option to gain result with no full xorg package removal and installation from ports?
