What graphics device does the system have? If it is a recent Intel processor (Sandybridge or Ivybridge) with integrated graphics (HD3000), you need WITH_KMS=YES. If it's any other graphics, you do not want WITH_KMS. It should be in /etc/make.conf, it you have it or need it. If you change it, you will need to build the kernel and modules. (Please don't put WITH_KMS=NO if you don't want it. Just remove the line.) -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer E-mail: kob6558@gmail.com
