Hello,
I am new to this OS and Unix/Linux in general so I'm still learning about how everything works. My issue is that I've installed Gnome using the documentation on FreeBSD.org - however my display is shown as "Unknown" and only lists 800x600 and 1024x768 as available resolutions.
I'm running this OS on my Laptop (Lenovo B560 - Intel HM55 Graphics Chipset). I've been doing a lot of research and it seems I'm not getting anywhere. I've tried reconfiguring /etc/X11/xorg.conf per a number of other forum posts from here and ubuntu forums, but it seems any changes I make cause problems and the display isn't detected by x-server/x-org (what's the difference between these two things?).
It seems that support for my GPU is rather limited when it comes to x-org, but does that mean I can manually define the resolution higher than 1024x768? I've uploaded the xorg.conf and xorg.log files to pastebin. Also, one thing I'd like to mention was that I connected my laptop to an external monitor and now I can configure the resolution to be 1280x1024, but that is still below the resolution of the laptop and the external monitor (1080p)
