Hi, I am writing a FreeBSD application in which I need to know the graphics configurations for different graphics chips. 1) nvidia - I think I know this case. this needs installation of packages nvidia-driver / nvidia-settings / nvidia-texture-tools / nvidia-xconfig. The user then needs to set in /etc/rc.conf : kld_list="/boot/modules/nvidia.ko /boot/modules/nvidia-modesetting.ko" The user also needs to configure xorg.conf (most easily done by just running nvidia-xconfig). 2) radeon - I think I know this case too. The user just needs to set in /etc/rc.conf : kld_list="/boot/kernel/radeon.ko /boot/kernel/radeonkms.ko" The user does not need to configure xorg.conf. Xorg configures itself. 3) amdgpu - Not sure here. Appears to me that this needs the user to install the xf86-video-amdgpu package. Anything else ? 4) intel - Not sure here too. Appears to me that this needs the user to install the xf86-video-intel package. Anything else ? Further, /boot/kernel also holds i915.ko and i915kms.ko. When are these modules needed ? Thanks for any information. Manish Jain
