I ended up just copying the Xorg.conf file from the link=C2=B9 on the Raspberry Page= =C2=B2 on the FreeBSD wiki. I am using 8.2-RELEASE on a Raspberry Pi B+, so I don't know that it will work on the newer snapshots. The rest of that page is very old but the xorg.conf works for me. =C2=B9 http://blog.cochard.me/2013/03/xorg-for-freebsd-on-raspberry-pi.html =C2=B2 https://wiki.freebsd.org/FreeBSD/arm/Raspberry%20Pi --=20 Carl Johnson carlj@peak.org
