Hi all I have a laptop with following Intel display controller: vgapci1 at pci0:0:2:0: class=0x030000 card=0xc0a5144d chip=0x01168086 rev=0x09 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Intel Corporation' device = '2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller' class = display subclass = VGA Its CPU is Intel Core i7 2630QM. Current xf86-video-intel-2.7.1 from experimental Xorg tree does not support the above Intel display controller. Following link shows the latest xf86-video-intel-2.18.0 driver is tested on Intel Core i7 2630QM: http://intellinuxgraphics.org/2012.02.html I have upgraded the libdrm to the latest and tried the latest xf86-video-intel-2.18.0 on the experimental Xorg tree but it generate errors that I do not understand. This laptop has a Nvidia Optimus display controller also, but no luck with it as it is not possible to disable the Intel display controller from the BIOS. Since the current xf86-video-intel-2.7.1 does not support the Intel display controller, I'm really stuck now. Is there any possibility for FreeBSD X11 community to upgrade the Intel driver to the xf86-video-intel-2.18.0 on the experimental Xorg tree. Appreciate it very much. Best regards Unga
