Did you also install the X driver for your graphics card? If you have a Thinkpad, I guess it contains Intel graphics. What does /var/log/Xorg.0.log say about that? > BTW, if I go back to 12.0 RELEASE, would that solve the problem? It would at least solve the ABI incompatibility problem. Currently I have a system running v12.0-p7 with the following configuration: In /boot/loader.conf: i915kms_load="YES" I have installed the xf86-video-intel package for X, and X starts without any configuration file. I also don't have anything DRM-related in any of the system configuration files. But X works as expected. > Ultimately, I need to rebuild with latest sources anyways to experiment > something w/ TCP stack, > so hopefully going back to 12.0 should fix - thoughts, please? If you get the latest OS sources and obtain a current ports tree, things should be in sync again. But don't use pkg to update your system in such a case without carefully locking the DRM kernel module port as mentioned before. > Any other ideas? Thanks a lot! Check if all components needed for X are actually installed. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
