I am using 7.2-RELEASE on my laptop with an Intel i915 graphics card. My problem is that Xorg refuses to start (most of the time) and posts an error in the log: drmDropMaster failed: Unknown Error -1 I have gotten X to start on occasion, but I've never been able to get fluxbox to start. The command "Xorg -config /etc/X11/xorg.conf -retro" always works correctly. xorg.conf: [3]http://pastebin.com/f44c3bfa1 Xorg.0.log: [4]http://pastebin.com/f22d7e99c dmesg output: [5]http://pastebin.com/f7d02e787 Any help would be very much appreciated. Try this: [6]http://www.dev-urandom.com/user/xorg.php I didn't realize you had 'AutoAddDevices' in ServerLayout at first.. Still, give "AllowEmptyInput" "off" a shot. Thanks for the quick responses: @Glen: I went ahead and gave it a try - to no avail. Ironically, I have never had any of the mouse/keyboard issues that people have complained about. My issue is that I just can't get X to start - it appears the drm driver is failing on me. @Francisco: I already have both hald and dbus loading in rc.conf. All of my packages have been compiled from ports.
