Folks: For context, I have a fresh install of version 14. I've made myself part of the wheel and video groups. I've installed drm-kmod, xdm, xf86-video-intel, xfce, xorg and xterm. I've added hald_enable="YES", dbus_enable="YES" and kld_list="i915kms" to /etc/rc.conf. At this point, advice diverges significantly. Some sites say I should be able to just run startx and all will be fine. Some want you to run xorg -configure. Some want you to hack X11 config files. What I can tell you is that X won't start with startx. For one thing, it outputs these errors: (EE) Fatal server error: (EE) no screens found(EE) (EE) Also, for what it's worth, service dbus start works. But service hald start doesn't. The error is: hald does not exist in /etc/rc.d or the local startup directories (/usr/local/etc/rc.d), or is not executable. I have no idea how to proceed. Paul -- Paul M.
