Hi, have you tried to start X without any xorg.conf (not using X -configure)? There have been problems using "X -configure" in the past. What are the contents of /var/log/Xorg.0.log then? Also, are there any messages in dmesg related to this? Starting X should automatically load the i915kms.ko and drm2.ko modules. Do they appear in the output of "kldstat" after trying to start X? Maybe you have an old line in your /boot/loader.conf that loads the old i915 or drm modules? You could also try using the new prebuilt packages for WITH_NEW_XORG: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-announce/2014-July/001570.html That would rule out any possible problems with your build environment. I think your graphics chip is not so old as to be unsupported by a modern X stack. You could double check with a Ubuntu live CD or so. Cheers, Jan
