See attached. When I attempt to invoke an Xorg session (see below) with the VESA section commented out and the Intel section uncommented, the "Fatal server error" was: (EE) no screens found(EE) > That's what happens when X starts without input or window managers.

I have these two ports built and installed on this laptop: xf86-input-keyboard-1.8.0_7 xf86-input-mouse-1.9.1 and I have these two sections in my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "kbd" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "auto" Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7" EndSection This is how I invoke my Xorg session (and have been doing so for over ten years IIRC): % /usr/local/bin/xinit -- /usr/local/bin/Xorg -nolisten tcp -retro -bs -ar1 350 -ar2 30 The last line in my .xinitrc file is this: /usr/local/bin/mwm 2>&1 /dev/null I have looked high and low for anything like the "evdev kernel module" and the xf86-input-evdev port. There is no evdev in the output of sysctl(8), and no mention of evdev in the GENERIC kernel config file. There is nothing starting with "ev..." in the /boot/kernel directory.
