and
Code: Select all
cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep Driver
cat: /etc/X11/xorg.conf: No such file or directory
the latter non existing file is because this is a Laptop: Sony Vajo SVE14 with hybrid graphics
- one internal Intel "card"
- an extra Radeon card that
can't be switched off via BIOS
To make X see and use that card I use a /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-intel.conf
with this content:
Code: Select all
Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "intel"
BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
EndSection
ps:
I managed to install FreeBSD and have XFCE up and running, but it was a bit of a struggle to get X up without a proper browser to read the documentation to find out how to do it ...
Very probably because of the dual graphics GhostBSD doesn't fully boot - just a black screen eventually.
I also switched off the Radeon card using the
acpi_call module as it is unused but using quite some power and generates only heat and fan noise
in /etc/rc.conf
and the output of this script:
https://people.freebsd.org/~xmj/turn_off_gpu.sh
to put a command into /etc/rc.local - which then switches the Radeon off, like this:
Code: Select all
/usr/local/sbin/acpi_call -p "\_SB.PCI0.PEG0.PEGP._OFF" -o i
The machine is as quiet as it has never been in Linux
Thanks FreeBSD!

2015 Toshiba L15W-B1302
Intel BayTrail Celeron N2840
liveCD fails to set correct video driver.
Maybe a switch from pkg drm-next-kmod to drm-kmod will fix this?
the old TrueOS 12.current picked up the driver & resolution just fine.
