I'm trying to do something similar, except with an HD4000 (i5-3570K) on =
9.1-RC2.
The problem I'm having, after setting the make variables as above, is =
that xorg-drivers port doesn't show the intel driver. In fact, there's =
the specific part of the Makefile:
.if (${ARCH} =3D=3D "amd64" || ${ARCH} =3D=3D "i386") && =
!defined(WITH_NEW_XORG)
VIDEO_ON+=3D intel
.endif
So what driver should I be using?
Thanks,
Neal.=
