Interesting. What port on the laptop are you using? Is there a "chain of adapters" involved?

So your GPU wasn't properly detected. Are you sure it is supported? > The problem is: I have an Intel video card, not NVIDIA ... In that case, the correct driver has to be installed and loaded, but the sections could look almost the same, except that the Intel GPU driver (and maybe specific options) is set. > My question is, if with GNU/Linux it show by default configuration, > isn't possible in FreeBSD ? Maybe that Linux uses a different approach to detect the GPU and load the driver for X. You can always use "pciconf -lv | less" to check for the correct identification of the GPU, and then add the correct package (for example xf86-video-intel). Then restart X and it will probably load the correct driver. Probably you can go without xorg.conf at all when the driver is available. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
