It's a Dell laptop using a graphics device that is intetgrated into the CPU package (PCI ID 0x0046/0x8086). Some investigation reveals that X.org's Intel driver branch 2.8 appears to offer support for this, while the FreeBSD port is still at 2.7.1. I tried to do a "quick upgrade" of the port locally, but cannot get it to either patch (several patches fail to apply), or after removing all patches, to compile. Before I start a hunk-to-hunk analysis of the existing patches to see what's needed and what has to be removed (because it's already part of the X.org sources), did anyone already do this? The issue is moderately urgent, because if I cannot get X.org to run on the laptop, we have to return it to the seller within a couple of weeks. -- cheers, J"org .-.-. --... ...-- -.. .
