I am in process of evaluating FreeBSD so I can move from the Linux world
to FreeBSD.
I have installed FreeBSD onto a Dell laptop Inspiron 1501 for testing,
Arch linux runs fine on this laptop.
I wish to install the base system, update it to the latest Released
version 10.1 and then build a desktop machine using the ports method
outlined in the online Handbook.
Here is what I have done so far
I have installed FreeBSD 10.0 and updated it to 10.1 using freebsd-update
uname -a
FreeBSD dell.example.com 10.1-RELEASE-p6 FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE-p6 #0: Tue
Feb 24 19:00:21 UTC 2015
root@amd64-builder.daemonology.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64
using freebsd-update.
Ss root entered the following:
/bin/sh
Xorg -configure > xorg.log 2>&1
$ cat xorg.log
X.Org X Server 1.14.7
Release Date: 2014-06-05
X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0
Build Operating System: FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE-p4 amd64
Current Operating System: FreeBSD dell.example.com 10.1-RELEASE-p6
FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE-p6 #0: Tue Feb 24 19:00:21 UTC 2015
root@amd64-builder.daemonology.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64
Build Date: 19 February 2015 09:04:34PM
Current version of pixman: 0.32.6

How do I fix the error:
Number of created screens does not match number of detected devices.
Configuration failed
If I then following the book
*|Xorg -config xorg.conf.new -retro|*
I can not (from the book) do the following:
To exit the test, switch to the virtual console used to start it by
pressing *Ctrl*+*Alt*+*F/|n|/* (*F1* for the first virtual console) and
press *Ctrl*+*C*.
it simply doesn't work ie I can not go to the term F1 and Ctrl+C to stop
xorg.
Ctrl+Alt+Delete will reboot the computer.
Continuing I built Xfce4 from ports, configured it to start from the
command line and started it.
I cannot simply log out and return to the command line as the display
goes haywire. To stop the computer I have to open a terminal in xfce
and su to root and issue a poweroff to shutdown.
Can anyone help with to above problems?
Thanks for your time
