 Hi,

I have an Intel GMA 3150 on my netbook, it works fine on ubuntu, arch with latest drivers, just FreeBSD seems to be the problem.

If I use default installation (10.0) Xorg will start, but only vesa driver will be used, when I try to load glxgears it says "i915 driver can't be loaded".

Also glxgears gives me 0.4fps which I think is unnaceptable, the screen often freezes for 5-10 seconds.

The card was working fine with intel29 and even some kms version (back in 2011).

I tried rebuilding the driver using WITHOUT_NEW_XORG but it won't, there are some incompatibility issues.

P.S. I know there is an issue when you exit xorg or loading i915kms, screen goes blank, but this has nothing to do with it, the new driver is broken, I read online on some pages that it used to work with kms.

Question:
How can I get intel29 on latest bsd?

John Ten
