Good question - I thought it was the X end of kms but clearly not since it gets loaded and unloaded for me too and everything driver related is reported as 'intel' in Xorg.0.log. I run with no config at all apart from the kld_list in rc.conf. > X is complicated. Maybe nobody knows. :-) I understood X11R5 well enough to get it going on a box with no TCP stack, no shared memory support and no streams or sockets[guess first then see 1] - also a development environment where make had a line length limit too short for several of the Makefiles. I did cheer when an X appeared and followed the mouse, even more when I tortured the 1MB video card into giving me the resolution I wanted. The current iteration of Xorg and DRI/DRM is mostly black magic to me, but when it cooperates it is impressive. [1] Pseudo TTY pairs for client/server transport - and only one half of that code was written, I had to write the other half. -- Steve O'Hara-Smith <steve@sohara.org>
