The following reply was made to PR ports/185182; it has been noted by GNATS. From: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Jean-S=E9bastien_P=E9dron?= <dumbbell@FreeBSD.org> To: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org, jguojun@sbcglobal.net Cc: Subject: Re: ports/185182: x11/xorg of 10-RC2 has blank screen on APU-3400 system Date: Mon, 20 Jan 2014 14:29:15 +0100 Thanks for your feeedback. When you used FreeBSD 8.x, do you remember if you used Radeon or VESA driver? Because your integrated GPU is fairly recent and it's surprising if it was supported on FreeBSD 8.x. On FreeBSD 10, I suggest you follow these instructions to use the new Radeon driver: https://wiki.freebsd.org/Graphics#Installing_KMS_Ports You'll end up with a newer X.Org server/drivers and libGL. They support your card. There's one caveat with this new driver: once an X session is started, you won't be able to use the console anymore. That means that VT-switching with Ctrl+Alt+Fx and exiting from X.Org will only give you a black screen. If this is unacceptable for you, keep using VESA. Now, about your input devices problem: xorg-server is built with HAL by default. You have to enable hald (hald_enable="YES" in your /etc/rc.conf) so that X.Org server can autodetect your input devices. And you don't need an xorg.conf file to configure them in this case. -- Jean-Sébastien Pédron
