Perhaps this is some help for those struggling with the Intel
82845M (845M GMCH) like systems. Note that I have an USB keyboard
and mouse connected to this system.
I did the: # portupgrade -rf libxcb
/usr/ports/UPDATING:
> Add Option "AllowEmptyInput" "off" to your ServerLayout section
Did nothing for me except caused lockups. Not before or after
the "20090124: AFFECTS: users of x11-servers/xorg-server,
sysutils/hal" update.
Pasting only the essentials:
...
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "X.org Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection
# Had to add this after xorg 7.4 upgrade
# USB devices (kb,mouse) would not be otherwise detected.
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "False"
EndSection
# This is left-over from 7.3, I haven't tried without it.
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Disable"
EndSection
Section "Module"
Load "GLcore"
Load "dbe"
# Load "dri"
Load "extmod"
Load "glx"
Load "freetype"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "intel"
VendorName "Intel Corporation"
BoardName "82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device"
BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
# 7.3 left-overs, supposedly improved intel driver performance
# Had something to do with XAA method if memory serves me right
# Again, haven't tried without these three.
Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"
Option "ExaNoComposite" "false"
Option "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy"
# DRI has been erratic since the 7.4 upgrade
Option "DRI" "false"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
DefaultDepth 16
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 16
EndSubSection
EndSection
...
Probably worth noting that I had to add the following
lines to /boot/loader.conf:
drm_load="YES"
i915_load="YES"
Otherwise drm would fail at startx. 7.3 and DRI worked
fine without them. I have, however, disabled DRI for 7.4
since it turned out to be too erratic for my liking.
