I've had a little experi= ence in working on higher definitions tho (like 1920x1080). Very first thing I do is I run "xrandr" with no arguments to see if the mod= e that I want is listed and available, just not used. If the resolution you want is listed in the xrandr output, then switching t= o it is as simple as running "xrandr --size WxH" where W is pixel-width and= H is pixel-height (e.g. "xrandr --size 1920x1080"). After which, you can m= ake this mode your default by adding the following to =A0the appropriate "D= isplay" subsection in /etc/X11/xorg.conf: Modes "1920x1080" However, if instead the desired mode is _not_ listed by xrandr, it could be= as simple as switching cables (if you're trying to hit 1920x1080 for examp= le, avoid [S]VGA and try DVI or HDMI or DP; switching cables could help). Next, there's a possibility you're not using a driver that supports your gr= aphics card. What I do in that situation is run (as root): X -configure :99 Then I go look at the Driver settings in /root/xorg.conf.new -- if it comes= back as "vesa" then that's the fallback driver and you can't make use of a= nything higher than 1600x1200. If it comes back as something other than "ve= sa" like "nvidia", "ati", "radeon", or "intel", then there's a chance you c= an hit 1920x1080 but we're not done yet. Last thing to do is to update xf86-video-* driver from the ports tree (pick= the one most appropriate for your Desktop hardware). --=20 Devin ________________________________________ From: owner-freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org [owner-freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org]= on behalf of Niclas Zeising [zeising@freebsd.org] Sent: Thursday, January 31, 2013 5:31 AM To: Wojciech Puchar Cc: hackers@freebsd.org; x11@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Xorg help This should have been sent to x11@ instead.

It was used for a short time when gem/kms was still developed. I have no idea what graphics card your atom comes with, it has integrated graphics, but you have to find out which exact version it is. In general, for newer intel graphics cards, the best is to use the new xorg distribution, that should give you hardware acceleration. Otherwise you can try xf86-video-intel in the old xorg distribution, but the risk is that it will revert back to using vesa instead.
