for example: $ kldload i915kms
Works! Like a charm.. Seems to have a seizure while it's at it, but what's life without some drama..
..and the .Xauthority is there now, with the same permissions as yours.. ..convenient.. ;-)
..so.. (..at least for systems similar to mine, with intel graphics..)
1) Login.
2) su (Become root..)
3) # pkg install xorg (Chapter 5 Handbook)
4) # pkg install drm-kmod (Chapter 5 Handbook)
5) # sysrc kld_list+=i915kms (Chapter 5 Handbook)
6) # kldload i915kms ( -Not- present in chapter 5 of handbook, as far as I can tell..) (not clear if this needs to be done as root, but doing it as root -does- work.
7) # pkg install cwm (..on till morning..)
8) # chown -R user:user /home/user (I -think- this has to be done as root, or with sudo..) (whether this is the best or approved way, no idea)
9) As ordinary user, create (or edit) .xinitrc to include:
10) $ startx (After a brief fit, you will get a black screen with a working mouse. See
this and
this (very bottom)(and many many more examples out there..), for suggestions as to what else you might include [in .xinitrc] to get anything beyond said black screen
)
11) For those not familiar with cwm, Ctrl-Alt-Shift-Q [
CMS-q] will get you back out of it ;-)
