It's OK, as long as I can have hardware acceleration I can stay with syscons
for a while. I've backed out vt(4) support from kernel config and rebuilt;
startx(1) now gets me to graphics mode with xterm(1) and window manager just
fine (FWIW, hw.ofwfb.relax_mmap is 1 by default now; I'm too lazy to dig out
which particular commit made it so, but thanks for that).
HW accel seems to work: X11 overall feels quite fast; glxinfo reports:
direct rendering: Yes
server glx vendor string: SGI
server glx version string: 1.4
... [but]
OpenGL vendor string: Mesa Project
OpenGL renderer string: Software Rasterizer
OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 9.1.7
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.20
glxgears spin at ~53 FPS. I haven't benchmarked Quake yet. ;-)
However, screen resolution is 1024x768 for some reason; xrandr(1) yields:
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1024 x 768, maximum 1024 x 1024
DVI-1 disconnected 1024x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm
DVI-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
S-video disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
1024x768 (0x55) 65.0MHz
h: width 1024 start 1048 end 1184 total 1344 skew 0 clock 48.4KHz
v: height 768 start 771 end 777 total 806 clock 60.0Hz
That's not native resolution of my LCD monitor; any ideas how to get one?
Why X reports "maximum 1024 x 1024"; nothing like that is set in xorg.conf.
