Hi all, I've got a new and shiny MSI S260 laptop on my desk. The FreeBSD 5.4 base system was installed in no time, but I'm having a hard time to configure Xorg. The S260 claims to use an Intel 915GM chipset with integrated graphics which uses shared memory. The display is a 12" WXGA running at 1280x800. I've googled a bit and found out that I apparently need the agp module. I've added 'agp_load="YES"' to my /boot/loader.conf and verified that the module is actually loaded. One strange thing is that there is no /dev/agpgart on my system. I've checked with a tower running FreeBSD 5.3 that does not use the agp module, but this one has the device anyway - is this a part of my problem? How can I get one now that MAKEDEV is deprecated? Next I ran xorgconfig. I've used the generic Intel i810 driver and specified 64M of memory which sounds reasonable to me. xorgconfig did not offer me the 1280x800 mode, so I've used some stuff from the web. The relevant parts are reprinted below, although I don't think they're important for the problem. This is the error message that I get after running startx: (WW) I810: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:0:2:1) found (EE) No devices detected. BTW I've got similar results without the BusID entry, or with a BusID entry "PCI:0:2:1", or with two device sections containing both variants. The dmesg output shows this about PCI: pci0: <display, VGA> at device 2.0 (no driver attached) pci0: <display> at device 2.1 (no driver attached) Needless to say that the preinstalled WinXP ran fine until I happily erased it. Is there a chance to make Xorg work? Any hints would be greatly aapreciated. regards, Markus Section "Monitor" Identifier "glare" HorizSync 31.5 - 64.3 VertRefresh 50-70 ModeLine "1280x800" 83.5 1280 1344 1480 1680 800 801 804 828 EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "i810" Driver "i810" BusID "PCI:0:2:0" VideoRam 65536 EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen 1" Device "i810" Monitor "glare" DefaultDepth 24 Subsection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1280x800" ViewPort 0 0 EndSubsection EndSection -- Markus Hoenicka markus.hoenicka@cats.de (Spam-protected email: replace the quadrupeds with "mhoenicka") http://www.mhoenicka.de
