Make sure you are in the video group. Use no config launch startx and it should auto configure. Well thing changed a bit and we just need to put some time for that to work no other way ;-) > > You may > > try the old drivers with the older hardware but I found them > > problematic. > > I don't want "problematic", I want "it works", and it doesn't > matter if "new works" or "old works"; FreeBSD has been able > to deliver "it works" for decades. :-) Well there are some issues but I moved away from macOS to FreeBSD looking at the direction of global changes and the way it goes does not look promising. Seems like we are the folks to "make things work" now. BSD still seems to be "the rational island" in this "sand castle world" and I can clearly see that I also need to add my bricks to make it work well thus my focus here :-) > > I > > also use hald and dbus. > > Accepting outdated Linux stuff to make FreeBSD graphics > work again doesn't sound as if it was the right thing to > do... ;-) Yea, but this is my _work_station_ so my main focus is to get the results in a shorter and shorter time spans.. not always I have lots of time to play and fix things anymore.. the world gone mad :-( After I finish a bigger project around August I will get back to E + Wayland on FreeBSD. I am working now and testing the new EFL+Enlightenment (still in Xorg mode). The E community is very helpful and responsive that also use FreeBSD and sometimes offer patches really quickly. Still some work to make it production ready :-) > Many many moving parts. :-) "Change is good" man "root is obsolete" why do we even need those computers ;-) ;-) -- CeDeROM, SQ7MHZ, http://www.tomek.cedro.info
