I have simply [...]" i915kms" (no extension). Make sure i915kms is indeed loaded: `kldstat` | grep i915` If this is indeed the problem and you do not want to reboot just to apply the change in rc.conf, load the module manually: `kldload i915kms` "No devices detected" indicates that Xorg cannot communicate with the module responsible for the GPU hardware. It has nothing to do with regular user permissions or monitor connectivity. Xorg on a headless system with a working GPU but no display outputs would be expected to give a "no screens" error but shouldn't have any problem finding the (GPU) device. Theron
