Hi Having looked at dmesg output and the information provided by FreeBSD devs about supported video hardware for WITH_NEW_XORG compilation knob, I would like to ask if you can confirm what I have determined my video hardware is: from dmesg: agp0: Intel Q45 SVGA controller from pciconf: vgapci0@pci0:0:2:0: class=0x030000 card=0x304817aa chip=0x2e128086 rev=0x03 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Intel Corporation' device = '4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller' class = display subclass = VGA vgapci1@pci0:0:2:1: class=0x038000 card=0x304817aa chip=0x2e138086 rev=0x03 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Intel Corporation' device = '4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller' class = display So my graphics hardware is codename 'Eaglelake' with device id 2e12. Does this mean this hardware is too old and therefore unsupported by the new xorg software and necessary components? As I use KDE4 - version 4.10.5 currently - will I have to stick with the pkg(8) url "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/release/0" for upgrading and installing packages? Or, can I still build the software on the machine using poudriere and specify 'WITHOUT_NEW_XORG' in order to benefit from the latest releases of KDE et al? If anyone is able to clarify those few things I'd be very grateful. Thanks for your time. Jamie.
