Description Adrian Chadd freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2013-11-20 08:00:00 UTC 
CPU:

CPU: Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU N450   @ 1.66GHz (1666.51-MHz 686-class CPU)

Display:

vgapci0@pci0:0:2:0:     class=0x030000 card=0x83ac1043 chip=0xa0118086 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Intel Corporation'
    device     = 'Atom Processor D4xx/D5xx/N4xx/N5xx Integrated Graphics Controller'
    class      = display
    subclass   = VGA
vgapci1@pci0:0:2:1:     class=0x038000 card=0x83ac1043 chip=0xa0128086 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Intel Corporation'
    device     = 'Atom Processor D4xx/D5xx/N4xx/N5xx Integrated Graphics Controller'
    class      = display

Starting xorg simply hangs.

See: http://people.freebsd.org/~adrian/ath/Xorg.0.log

Fix: 

Bill Paul fixed this for the exopc; the same bug and fix is here:

http://people.freebsd.org/~wpaul/exopc/

However, it's not clear why it works. It may be something else besides the xorg driver as I have no issues with Linux + intel drivers on a 2011 era Ubuntu (but a 2011 era FreeBSD suffered the same fate; I ran with VESA since then.)

Comment 2 Adrian Chadd freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2014-09-18 00:14:11 UTC 
Update from Bill/I:

Now, this also works:

        Option      "FrameBufferCompression"    "False"

.. I have a similar era device to him and had the same problem.

I'd like to see FreeBSD just install and run without a hitch. :) Is it possible to somehow make the framebuffer compression option stay disabled on i830 for now? Or just merge in this patch for the time being?

Thanks!

Is this still a problem with xserver 1.14, xf86-video-intel 2.21 and the kernel
driver?
Comment 4 Walter Schwarzenfeld freebsd_triage 2018-01-12 21:48:40 UTC 
Sane question: Is this still a problem.
