Stuck trying to get NEW Xorg working on 9.3-RC2

[Jan Kokemüller]

Hi,
have you tried to start X without any xorg.conf (not using X 
-configure)? There have been problems using "X -configure" in the past. 
What are the contents of /var/log/Xorg.0.log then? Also, are there any 
messages in dmesg related to this?

Starting X should automatically load the i915kms.ko and drm2.ko modules. 
Do they appear in the output of "kldstat" after trying to start X? Maybe 
you have an old line in your /boot/loader.conf that loads the old i915 
or drm modules?

You could also try using the new prebuilt packages for WITH_NEW_XORG:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-announce/2014-July/001570.html
That would rule out any possible problems with your build environment.

I think your graphics chip is not so old as to be unsupported by a 
modern X stack. You could double check with a Ubuntu live CD or so.

Cheers,
Jan
