Trying FreeBSD 15.0 BETA 1 on ThinkPad T500

[Ben]

So far so good! Only using the Intel graphics for now, and needed to tell X.Org what's what in order to even get it to start... But minor, and totally expected.

Just needed to make a config file in /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-modesetting.conf

Code: Select all

Section "Device"
    Identifier "IntelGPU"
    Driver "modesetting"
    BusID "PCI:0:0:2"
    Option "AccelMethod" "glamor"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier "Screen0"
    Device "IntelGPU"
EndSection

Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier "Layout0"
    Screen "Screen0"
EndSection

Section "ServerFlags"
	Option "AutoAddGPU" "False"
EndSection

That last bit is important, AutoAddGPU False, otherwise XOrg will get confused between the two available fb devices.

Your PCI ID may be different, you find this via pciconf -lv | grep -B3 display

Code: Select all

vgapci1@pci0:0:2:0:	class=0x030000 rev=0x07 hdr=0x00 vendor=0x8086 device=0x2a42 subvendor=0x17aa subdevice=0x2115
    vendor     = 'Intel Corporation'
    device     = 'Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller'
    class      = display
--
vgapci0@pci0:1:0:0:	class=0x030000 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00 vendor=0x1002 device=0x9591 subvendor=0x17aa subdevice=0x2116
    vendor     = 'Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI]'
    device     = 'RV635/M86 [Mobility Radeon HD 3650]'
    class      = display

Only the PCI id is really important here.
