Folks:

For context, I have a fresh install of version 14.
=

Perhaps those of us who actua= lly know their way around graphics (not me, I'm afraid) can be of more = help if you add such information like
- which HW is = this?=C2=A0
- has X11 ever worked on gjis HW (if so,= under which OS)?=C2=A0
- have you checked syslog fo= r anything interesting?=C2=A0

HTH=C2=A0
Michael=C2=A0

I've made myself part of
the wheel and video groups. I've installed drm-kmod, xdm, xf86-video-in= tel,
xfce, xorg and xterm. I've added hald_enable=3D"YES", dbus_en= able=3D"YES" and
kld_list=3D"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, i= t
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 s= tart
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
