I use it all the time...maybe try commenting out all items and just put "xterm -rv"? I haven't tried the vesa drivers, but xorg should work after using the patches for intel graphics KMS. VESA only supports resolutions exposed by the video bios, which are often "wrong". Meowthink has been posting patches from head backported to 9, my understanding is you'll want to merge the xorg-dev port from here: http://wiki.freebsd.org/Intel_GPU (after the long list of individual ports, or...) and then apply Meowthink's patch. The xorg-dev merge will add some ports including a kms enabled intel driver (3d, native resolution) Matt
