I cannot figure out how to setup X: [ 92.583] (EE) open /dev/dri/card0: No such file or directory And indeed there is no /dev/dri directory at all. I seem to have a dual graphics card (or 2 cards): vgapci1@pci0:0:2:0: class=0x030000 card=0x07a91028 chip=0x191b8086 rev=0x06 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Intel Corporation' device = 'HD Graphics 530' class = display subclass = VGA vgapci0@pci0:1:0:0: class=0x030200 card=0x07a91028 chip=0x13b410de rev=0xa2 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'NVIDIA Corporation' device = 'GM107GLM [Quadro M620 Mobile]' class = display subclass = 3D Which apparently is the source of my problems. In this thread the suggestion is to disable one card in BIOS: https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/dell-precision-m7710-laptop-and-xorg.55899 Unfortunately I don't see any such or similar option in my BIOS. Indeed my BIOS does not mention 2 cards. It only lists the Intel graphics device. I searched all possible BIOS options - power, devices, etc., but can find nothing to disable one card. What else can I try? Do I need to create an X config file in my case? Thanks Anton
