Ok, So with your GPU and generally VESA at least available the following is a
set of checks you can do to get your bearings.
Use `pkg list` to show a list of all installed packages. lightdm and x11 should
be visible. `pkg list -a` shows all packages known the the system with
additional filters applyable for source and publisher if needed.
lightdm has a service and should be running. Check smf with the `svcs` utility
to see the services and use `svcs -a` to see also disabled services. lightdm
starts xorg. use `svcadm enable` to enable services and start them.

Hi, Rainer
From which ISO/USB image did you install? If you have installed from the text
versions you have not installed any Xorg or gui at all. You will need to
install mate_install package with pkg.

So, I would need to somehow tell the installer to ignore what it thinks the
video card is, and create the OS with Intel devices/drivers/etc.
To answer your question, this Gigabyte Brix is about 6 years old.
I'm finding the lack of the Xorg log and the fact that it ignores the file I
created at Alan's suggestion to be odd and disturbing. This was normal under
FreeBSD.

/var/log/Xorg.0.log should have information on what config files the X server
read, what devices it actually found, and what decisions it made on which
driver to use for them.
It would have to be a very old motherboard to have an Intel graphics chip
that's not part of an Intel CPU - they merged them into a single unit years
ago. But X won't assume an nvidia card based on the CPU, only on the PCI
device ids it finds that match nvidia's vendor id.

Hi.
xrandr called it an Intel graphics card. The intel_drv.so driver worked solidly
under FreeBSD. I think X keeps thinking it's an NVidia card because it's an AMD
CPU. But Gigabyte seems to have used an intel chip on the motherboard. The
NVideo driver hasn't worked under any flavour of Unix/Linux I've tried.

Greetings.
Which file is Hipster using to define the video driver to use? X is trying to
use the NVidia driver, which fails. Under FreeBSD, the Intel driver worked, so
I'm hoping it will here as well. But none of the files I've found that mention
the NVidia driver seem to actually be an Xorg config file.
Like Xorg on all other platforms, it will use /etc/X11/xorg.conf if it exists,
or config snippets in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ but the default configuration
doesn't use a config file, but lets Xorg check for available video devices
and uses its internal mapping of PCI vendor ids to drivers to decide which
drivers to use for those.

Hi.
That make sense, thanks. It also explains why I can't find a config file to
edit.
So, is there an "official" way to override the driver X is using? Do I need to
hack together a config file to do this?
Thanks again,
Rainer
