Created attachment 169015 [details] dmesg followed by Xorg log On the machine described by the attached dmesg with 10.3 release installed (though it says 10.3-Beta2 in the bug report's version, since Bugzilla hasn't been updated), X will not start. The Xorg log is attached, cat'ed to the dmesg, since this marvelous bug reporting system only allows me to attach one file.
(In reply to donaldcallen from comment #0) Try installing xf86-video-fbdev, and see if it works then. I've had a similar issue with dmesg reporting "Warning, couldn't open module fbdev".
(In reply to serio.jeffrey@riseup.net from comment #1) Umm, the error I encountered was RADEON(0): [drm] Failed to open DRM device for pci:0000:00:01.0: No such file or directory You are suggesting doing another install of FreeBSD (I have Arch Linux installed on the machine now) and installing the fbdev driver to fix this? I'm sorry, but that doesn't make a lot of sense.
Do whatever you want. I'm just making a suggestion. I had a similar issue with Xorg not starting, and part of the dmesg log contained that bit about fbdev, as yours does (search the attachment for 'fbdev' to see it). I installed xf86-video-fbdev and it somehow started working. It really was that simple. I can't help that you now have Arch Linux installed.
(In reply to donaldcallen from comment #2) Also, I'm not saying this is a fix for your problem. It is at most a temporary workaround.
(In reply to serio.jeffrey@riseup.net from comment #4) And I'm not guaranteeing that it will help your situation. I'm saying it just worked for me, and suggesting you try it. If it doesn't work then forget about it. Now that you have Arch Linux installed and have a working system, maybe it's not worth the trouble any more.
