To use it you need to build X drivers and drm and the kernel with: WITH_NEW_XORG=YES WITH_KMS=YES in /etc/make.conf. Specifically, the kernel and a few ports. graphics/drm and your org-drivers: xf86-video-intel, xf86-input-synaptics, xf86-input-mouse, and xf86-input-keyboard. Then just start X. Don't try loading the kernel module. It will be loaded by the startx. > Finally, what happens when I leave x and want to go back to > console mode? You don't If you try, your system will lock up. You need to shutdown from a window in X. Hopefully someone will implement switching back to console mode some day, but it has not happened, yet. > I tried out live RC2 from usb stick.

It is new to 9.1 and fixes some serious issues with C-states on many newer platforms. Specifically that some platforms skip some C-states and FreeBSD never used the ones saving more power than hte one skipped. I always remind folks to blow out the heat sink on laptops about one a year. Dust is a great insulator and laptops often collect a lot more dust than office systems, though my office system started dying during buildworld last week and blowing out the CPU heat sink fixed it up, but it had been sitting around for almost three years collecting dust. -- R.
