Yes it is absolutely able to run MATE desktop: $ sudo pkg install mate $ echo "exec /usr/local/bin/mate-session" > ~/.xinitrc $ startx You may need dbus as well: as root: # echo 'dbus_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf Why don't you try if your intel card works with the latest snapshot of DragonFly 4.5. See if xorg works and then try configure xorg for your external screen. You may need to explicitly enable it in the config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf). Cheers Peeter --
