Hello
I aquired an R51 model 2887 recently. It has the latest BIOS and the
video chipset is 855GM. I am getting the same problem as mentioned here
<http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=991679+1008170+/usr/local/www/db/text/2010/freebsd-questions/20100829.freebsd-questions>
and here

Loading X (with/without -retro) causes the machine to lock up with a
black screen. I have to press and hold the power button to turn the
machine off and Xorg.0.log is empty on reboot.
This occurs with xorg-7.5 and xf86-video-intel-2.7.1_3. With xorg_7.4_3
and xf86-video-intel-2.7.1_1 it works.
Replacing the intel driver with vesa also works.
Other things I have tried are:
replace xf86-video-intel-2.7.1_3 in the xorg-7.5 setup with
xf86-video-intel-2.7.1_1 from a package compiled with xorg_7.4_3 - works
but lots of warnings of version mismatches when installing.
compile xf86-video-intel-2.7.1_1 with xorg-7.5 - failed to compile.
add Option "AccelMethod" "EXA" to xorg.conf (because
xf86-video-intel-2.7.1_1 failed to compile with errors about uxa) - no
effect.
remove a second instance of screen, device etc in xorg.conf which gets
set up by X -configure - no effect.
One thing I haven't done is add Option "UseSIGIO" and Option
"NoTrapSignals" to xorg.conf as they both have warnings which I didn't
feel competent to deal with.
I haven't included xorg.conf and dmesg as they are both virtually
identical to the ones in the links above, but of course I can if required.
OS is 8.1-R
Any suggestions welcome.
thanks
Chris
