So, now the config looks right, but your chip isn't supported... You can try the attached patch, or try the nouveau driver, though that will require pulling libdrm from git at the moment. robert. > At this point I tried "portmaster -d -a" just to be at the latest. > That did not help. >=20 > Since the time I wrote to you last, I had changed the driver to "vesa" > and with some other changes, I actually got the xserver running.
