Xorg, 10.0-RELEASE woes

Hi everyone,

I have an HP Envy 15 with a VESA which (up to 10.0-RC4) worked without a configuration and an NVIDIA GeForce 740M which I never got to function before (Xorg can't find a display device for nvidia but can with vesa for some reason).

Since moving to 10.0-RELEASE this morning, my touchpad seems to no longer be working under hald. I have since generated an xorg.conf which allows the cursor to move with the touchpad and click things. When I tap in the same place twice and drag I can select things but I cannot 'paste' them or use the right side as a right mouse button*. In an ideal world, I'd really like to use the 740M but if that's not an option I'd at least like normal mouse functionality. I'm sure there's a simple solution for it but I've just been staring at the same thing for far too long. I appreciate any help that's possible to provide!

Ad *: Not a problem right, except that the insert key does not work either so 'shift-insert' is out and it makes does not allow me to right click links when browsing, also annoying.
 
How did you upgrade to FreeBSD-10.0-RELEASE? freebsd-update or build from source?

Did you try rebuilding sysutils/hal? That is the first thing I would try to resolve the hald issue.

Did you follow this Nvidia guide when you set up your Nvidia card?

FYI, WITH_GALLIUM is only used with AMD cards. WITH_KMS is no longer used at all and applied only to the Intel i915 driver when it was used. Neither is required to use an Nvidia card. I don't think it does any harm to have them in /etc/make.conf though, just installs some unnecessary stuff.

Please paste a copy of /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log to http://www.pastebin.com and provide us with a link.
 
Thanks, rebuilding HAL helped, I can't believe I didn't think of that myself :)

I upgraded using freebsd-update and I read the nvidia page and followed the instructions. The extra make.conf options are because I ended up trying everything, but its nice to know I can remove them. :)

From kldstat:
Code:
 3    1 0xffffffff817fc000 e3d940   nvidia.ko

Xorg.0.log: http://pastebin.com/KfpM3m8a.

And the configuration, initially generated with nvidia-xconfig (where the hashes are some of the (many) options I've tried over the past while): http://pastebin.com/eG1h5Suz.

I am sure I am missing something really obvious.
 
What happens exactly is that I say startx at the console which then freezes until I change to another TTY. I get the above ACPI error messages in the console, after that I can go back to the original TTY to Ctrl-C out of the frozen startx process.
 
Yes I am using x11/nvidia-driver (nvidia.ko is also loaded as per the manual) and I am running as a normal user.

xinitrc is nothing fancy really but I have also tried running without it and it doesn't make a difference:
Code:
xrdb -load $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid gray &
xterm -bg black -fg green&
exec i3
 
Just reread your initial post and noticed that you "have since generated an xorg.conf" after you first experienced your problems. What happens if you go back to running X with no /etc/X11/xorg.conf file? Or maybe you have already tried this?
 
Then it uses the VESA gpu and not the NVIDIA one. Oh and my BIOS does not allow me to turn the vesa cpu off either :(
 
I think this might be part of the problem:
sysctl hw.nvidia.gpus
Code:
hw.nvidia.gpus.0.model: GeForce GT 740M
hw.nvidia.gpus.0.irq: 264
hw.nvidia.gpus.0.vbios: ??.??.??.??.??
hw.nvidia.gpus.0.uuid: GPU-????????-????-????-????-????????????
hw.nvidia.gpus.0.type: PCIe

and the output from nvidia-xconfig --query-gpu-info
Code:
Number of GPUs: 1

GPU #0:
  Name      : GeForce GT 740M
  PCI BusID : PCI:1:0:0

  Number of Display Devices: 0
