Hello, I'm having trouble configuring Xorg on my Core 2 Duo Apple MacBook. I have followed instructions from a blog at http://goddess-gate.com/dc2/index.php/post/251 in installing Freebsd7.0 Release on it. I have rebuilt the kernel with the following added to the config: > device drm # Enable graphic acceleration (base support). > device i915drm # Enable graphic acceleration (i945GM support). > > The laptop has an Intel GMA965 X3100 chipset which shows up as Intel Mobile GMA965/GL960 using 'pciconf -lv' on pci channel 0:2:1. While running xorgconfig, I specified the use of "i810" (option 16) as the graphic controller--this was in accordance with the instructions from the blog above. The following is an excerpt from the blog which applies to my Xorg configuration: > Graphic card setup > > When you're asked if you want to parse graphic cards list, answer "y". > The graphic controller to use is "i810" (option 16). > Installed memory is "65536K" (option 9). > Identifier should be "GMA950" (I used GMA965). > Leave modes as is (answer "4"). > Default mode will be 24 bits (answer "5"). > Unfortunately, with this configuration, my X server doesn't start and gives the following error: > (EE) No devices detected. > Fatal server error: > no screens found > The FAQ from Xorg (http://www.x.org/wiki/FAQErrorMessages#head-93b1e0b56f76546d61364f789045e9c745b6cfd4) claims that: It is very likely that your xorg.conf file doesn't contain the > correct driver(s) for the chipset(s) in your system or that your > chipset isn't supported by any of the drivers. Could someone please help me with figuring out what drivers should I be using for my chipset? regards,
