It gets a slightly interesting. Xorg.0.log says this is Radeon 6400M Series at (--)PCI:* line. However, on "(II) RADEON: driver for ATI Radeon chipsets:" line, it has all models including 2600..6000,6200,6250,6300,6700..9800, but not 6400,6500,6600. Then it says: (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration. It looks like that Radeon 6400-6600 Series are not supported in Xorg, or not in this FreeBSD version. ________________________________ From: Erich Dollansky <erichfreebsdlist@ovitrap.com> To: Jin Guojun <jguojun@sbcglobal.net> Cc: freebsd-x11@freebsd.org; hardware@freebsd.org; x11@freebsd.org Sent: Thu, March 29, 2012 10:13:14 PM Subject: Re: X support on HP Eiltebook laptop Hi, On Friday 30 March 2012 11:53:03 Jin Guojun wrote: > Unfortunately, X and startx will crash too if X -configure crashes :-) is this a new feature? Isn't xorg.conf processed at all anymore? I am under the impression that X stops probing when the configuration in xorg.conf works. Of course, I did not give X the drivers for probing for hardware which is not in the box.
