If anyone has ANY insight beyond this "MIGHT be the problem", please do so. Try building your kernel, libdrm, and x11-driverswith WITH_NEW_XORG=YES and WITH_KMS=YES. Then delete your xorg.conf and just start your desktop. In general, X no longer should need a config file, though you may want a short one for local changes. To support extra fonts from ports, mine looks like: Section "Files" ModulePath "/usr/local/lib/xorg/modules" FontPath "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/bitstream-vera/" FontPath "/media/Windows7_OS/Windows/Fonts/" FontPath "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/GentiumBasic/" FontPath "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/webfonts/" FontPath "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/dejavu/" FontPath "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/urwfonts-ttf/" FontPath "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/printmaster" FontPath "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/Liberation/" FontPath "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/misc/" FontPath "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/" FontPath "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/OTF/" FontPath "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/" FontPath "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/" FontPath "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/" EndSection Section "Module" Load "freetype" Load "extmod" Load "record" Load "dbe" Load "glx" Load "dri" Load "dri2" EndSection Note the lack of any Card, Monitor, Screen or other hardware specific configuration. -- R.
