I am trying to pursue if there are any configure changes that might work on
the X11 mailing list. What I was hoping for here was finding out if there
is another way to get at this. The Lonovo ideapad 700 has the following
graphics hardware:
vgapci1@pci0:0:2:0: class=0x030000 card=0x380a17aa chip=0x191b8086
rev=0x06 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Intel Corporation'
device = 'HD Graphics 530'
class = display
subclass = VGA
vgapci0@pci0:1:0:0: class=0x030200 card=0x380b17aa chip=0x134710de
rev=0xa2 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'NVIDIA Corporation'
device = 'GM108M [GeForce 940M]'
class = displayNVIDIA
subclass = 3D
And the GeForce 940M is not supported. So far I have not been able to come
up with a configuration to have xorg use the Intel card. 7.7_2 did this by
default.
So the first question and easiest solution for me is: have all the 11.0 and
or 11.1 package repositories been purged from the internet? Failing that
how about a ports tree? A fix to this problem does not seem to be coming in
the near term. I will not make the mistake again of not having a full
backup of a working system before doing any kind of xorg update. The other
thing that might work is a ISO set that included xorg prior to 7.7_3. I
would not running 11.0 or even 10.x. FreeBSD versions 10.1 --> 11.3 have
just worked.
