Hello to everyone.
I'm a new net-bsd user. I'm learning and trying this OS. The first step is
to correctly configure the resolution of my screen. On my PC I have 3
graphic cards :
1) 000:02:0: Intel UHD Graphics 630 (VGA display, revision 0x02)
2) 001:00:0: NVIDIA product 1e04 (VGA display, revision 0xa1) : (NVIDIA RTX
2080ti)
3) 002:00:0: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB (VGA display, revision 0xa1)
On the BIOS I have configured the Intel UHD Graphics 630 as the primary GPU
device and my screen is attached to the HDMI port of that GPU. The problem
that I have is that I'm not able to use the intel driver,instead of the
nouveau.
Below u can see all the hardware specs of my PC :

netbsd-marietto# dmesg
[ 15.871239] wsdisplay0: screen 1 added (default, vt100 emulation)
[ 15.871239] wsdisplay0: screen 2 added (default, vt100 emulation)
[ 15.871239] wsdisplay0: screen 3 added (default, vt100 emulation)
[ 15.871239] wsdisplay0: screen 4 added (default, vt100 emulation)
This is what I did:
1.
Uninstalled modular-xorg and xf86-video-intel--Just use what's in the
base install.
2.
Re-created the DRM devices. As root:
cd /dev
sh ./MAKEDEV drm0 drm1 drm2
3.
Edited /boot.cfg and disabled the nouveau drivers by adding this line:
userconf=disable nouveau*
4.
Rebooted.
Below you can see my config. files :
nano /boot.cfg
menu=Boot normally:rndseed /var/db/entropy-file;gop 4;boot
menu=Boot single user:rndseed /var/db/entropy-file;boot -s
menu=Drop to boot prompt:prompt
userconf=disable nouveau*
default=1
timeout=5
clear=1
Below u can see the most relevant packages (among others,for the graphic
part) that I have installed :
*netbsd-marietto# pkgin list*
*intel-microcode-netbsd-20210608 Firmware updates for Intel x86 processors*
*intel-vaapi-driver-2.4.0 VA-API user mode driver for Intel GEN Graphics
family*
*modular-xorg-fonts-1.1 Modular Xorg font meta-package*
*wayland-1.18.0nb3 Display server protocol - development libraries*
*wayland-protocols-1.20 Additional wayland functionality*
*x11-links-1.34 Shadow tree of links to native X11 headers and
libraries*
and I've created the file wsfb.conf that I have placed it into the folder
/etc/X11/
Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "intel"
EndSection
When I reboot the PC I do :
netbsd-marietto# dmesg | grep intel
netbsd-marietto#
It seems that it ignores the file wsfb.conf located in /etc/X11 and since I
haven't any xorg.conf in /etc/X11/, xorg starts because it gets the default
values. I've also tried to create a xorg.conf file like this :
Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "intel"
EndSection
But it is not accepted. It says "screens not found" ; I have created the
same file inside the folder /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d folder but the error is
still the same. I've renamed that file into wsfb.conf but nothing has
changed.
neither this file works : (placed into /etc/X11) ;
nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "intel"
BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
EndSection
I don't know what to do more than this...
