OK. I can fetch a previous known-working xorg.conf and I can (and will) try that, however... Isn't all of this NEW_XORG stuff eventually supposed to be become the new "official" xorg stuff for FreeBSD? If so, is anybody going to work on fixing this, which appears to be a quite serious bug? >WITH_NEW_XORG does apparently use some new methods to probe for >video, but in this case it sounds like X -configure is getting confused >by a video controller you don't use or there is some other issue probing >one device. It would seem so. For the record, the machine in question has motherboard MSI K9VGM-V, which is a micro-ATX with on-board integrated VIA K8M890CE graphics, *and* also I have an ATI X600 PCIe board installed. I do use the latter. I do not use the former. >The error message is vague, Yes.

I only have one monitor, and it is plugged in to the X600 card (via DVI). Perhaps X is unhappy that I have nothing plugged into the on-board graphics. >You could try removing all >drivers except the ones you intend to use as well. Well, I'll see how things go with the xorg.conf file that I was using on this machine before.
