SOLVED FreeBSD 9.2 RC3 works on iMac but...
Hi!
I installed FreeBSD 9.2 RC3 on iMac: Model Name: iMac Model Identifier: iMac11,1 Processor Name: Intel Core i7 Processor Speed: 2.8 GHz Number of Processors: 1 Total Number of Cores: 4 L2 Cache (per Core): 256 KB L3 Cache: 8 MB Memory: 8 GB ATI Radeon HD 4850: Chipset Model: ATI Radeon HD 4850 Type: GPU Bus: PCIe PCIe Lane Width: x16 VRAM (Total): 512 MB Vendor: ATI (0x1002) Device ID: 0x944a Revision ID: 0x0000 ROM Revision: 113-B9110C-425 EFI Driver Version: 01.00.383 Displays: iMac: Display Type: LCD Resolution: 2560 x 1440 Pixel Depth: 32-Bit Color (ARGB8888) Main Display: Yes Mirror: Off Online: Yes Built-In: Yes Connection Type: DisplayPort It works. But after installed Xorg and run Xorg -configure and Xorg -config... I got just black screen and I need to reset computer. I don't know how to setup xorg.conf that it will work (monitor and graphics card). Thanks in advance. Last edited by lumiwa; 20th September 2013 at 04:00 PM. |

Just to cover the FreeBSD idiosyncrasies did you install xorg from ports with hal disabled or did you use the binary packages? If you used the binary packages did you enable
hald and dbus? X11 Configuration |

Do I need to have in make.conf WITH_NEW_XORG=yes? |

This page may be helpful.
Other thoughts are: 1) rename the xorg.conf file so that it is not read and see if Xorg autoconfiguration works. 2) Comment out the deviceid in your xorg.conf 3) Try a live version of PC-BSD. They have implemented Code:
WITH_NEW_XORG="YES" WITH_GALLIUM="YES" |

It didn't work. I don't know which drivers use Linux MInt which Live DVD recognize everything: monitor, gr. card, sound... I will update ro RC 4 and try again. Thank you. |

It works. I installed FreeBSD 10.0-ALPHA1 and it works like a charm .
I installed WITH_XORG_NEW WITH_KMS and WITH_GALLIUM in make.conf, patch mesa and installed Xorg and it works. I installed KDE4 4.11.1 and works too. GLGEARS shows better FPS than on Mountain Lion. Thanks for the help. I have the problem with sound still... |
