ACPI support - Freebsd 10 on Sony Vaio VPCCA3C5E

[Daniele Mazzotti]

Hi,

I kept my mouth shut for two days as I tried to follow your suggestion
regarding VESA. This is the situation so far: "I feel like in the dining
philosophers problem".

lspci -lv showed me the following:

vgapci1 at pci0:0:2:0:    class=0x030000 card=0x9080104d chip=0x01168086
rev=0x09 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Intel Corporation'
    device     = '2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics
Controller'
    class      = display
    subclass   = VGA

vgapci0 at pci0:1:0:0:    class=0x030000 card=0x9080104d chip=0x67411002
rev=0x00 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI'
    device     = 'Whistler [AMD Radeon HD 6600M Series]'
    class      = display
    subclass   = VGA

After a quick search on google and some nice experiences of some months ago
with Radeon cards (they seem not to be working very well on fbd) I
definitely decided to go "all-in" with the Intel card. So I configured xorg
to use intel driver instead of vesa. X can be started and the screen
resolution is very good, BUT I found out I cannot switch amongst vt
sessions. This is definitely not good and I found out this is not only a
problem of mine (https://forums.freebsd.org/viewtopic.php?&t=38470).

The error I get anytime I try to switch between terminals is the following
one " drmDropMaster failed: Unknown error: -22"

Has any of you any suggestion other than throwing this laptop outside the
window with all my might?
Cheers,
Daniele.
