Can you please check _which_ graphics card your laptop contains? Read through # pciconf -lv | less If it's a Thinkpad, it's probably Intel. Depending on model and age of the Thinkpad, as I said, it might be possible that you don't need the DRM stuff at all. Again, verify that you have the driver _for X_ installed, which for Intel GPUs is xf86-video-intel. This to make sure that X is not missing an essential component. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
