I built the newer Xorg and it falls flat: goes to a nongraphic
screen that is blank except for a rectangular cursor in the upper
left corner, and now I want to get back to the earlier Xorg.
System is Intel Sandy Bridge with i7 CPU.
Robert Huff responds:
You don't mention your graphics chip explicitly, but building
libdrm with the KMS option was enough to prevent X from starting on
a Radeon HD 3300. (Experimental, indeed! :-)
Other will be able to help more if you could post the contents
of /var/log/Xorg.0.log and your xorg.conf file.
My /var/log/Xorg.0.log has 0 bytes!
To Andrey Fesenko f0and...@gmail.com:
Were you able to start X with
# cat /etc/make.conf
WITH_NEW_XORG=true
WITH_KMS=true
X.Org X Server 1.10.6
Release Date: 2012-02-10
intel(0): Integrated Graphics Chipset: Intel(R) Sandybridge Mobile (GT2+)
