I solved this with an install of dri. However,as you can see from my recent "Gtk20 port?" thread on comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc my problems run deeper and replacing the whole ports tree via svn hasn't solved them. > > > You are not running WITH_NEW_XORG Where would this be configured?

As of now the onboard graphics controller of the i7-3770K CPU is outputting to an HP Compaq LA2405x monitor.I did purchase an ASUS Radeon HD 7770 graphics card but it's currently uninstalled as the first OS I had was FreeBSD 9.2/i386 (subscription CDs turn out to be only i386 which became an issue when I got this 64-bit CPU) which didn't support it and 10.0/amd64 has only been installed since. (I never had great graphical ambitions for this machine,and was upgrading from a Pentium 4 with ITS onboard graphics). > Can you look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log and see what driver is actually > being used? What I see in there now mentions built-in defaults (I did no active configuring,waiting on getting the card (and full xorg) installed). My logs from before the latest hal crash (rendering fvwm useless as it won't see input...and hal won't reinstall) have been overwritten. > I suspect you may need either the > nvidia driver or NEW_XORG, but I am not at all sure. > -- > R.
