>Description:
With Xorg in ports there's this problem (there was the same problem also with 7.2) it's like 1/3 of the LVDS is a little "darker" fading from lighter to darker, the problem seems to be more marcated (screen divided in 3 pieces starting from darker to lighter) when using LVDSFixed mode to False, so i think it's something related with lvds/drm.

Tried also disabling drm, doesn't change.
Tried also using latest intel (2.9.1) driver, doesn't change.
Tried with custom xorg.conf and default built-in configuration, doesn't change.

here's an extract from Xorg log that shows the chipset:

(--) PCI:*(0@0:2:0) Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller rev 3, Mem @ 0xb0080000/524288, 0xc0000000/268435456, 0xb0000000/262144, I/O @ 0x00001800/8, BIOS @ 0x????????/65536
(--) PCI: (0@0:2:1) Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller rev 3

Would be nice to offer a separate Xorg r7.5 port (without substitution of r7.4 wich is stable), to see if with the new server works, or investigate in freebsd/drm to see why there's that strange problem.

I'm actually working with a kernel i configured/compiled, but problem is reproducible also with GENERIC.

thanks
>How-To-Repeat:
always reproducible.
start xorg and pay attention to the colors (using gnome with a blue background shows the difference really good.
