Hello folks,
I’m back on the forum and in the freebsd community, it’s been a while. I sold my Xiaomi for a thinkpad (I stop telling my life).
Sorry if the answer is somewhere, I’m seeking through the forum since yesterday, same for stackoverflow, didn’t find the answer…
I set up FreeBSD 13 STABLE on my thinkpad, I loaded the modules I needed to get WiFi, I loaded the i915 module also to be able to get X server working (which works fine), and I installed KDE Plasma following this article https://euroquis.nl/kde/2021/04/30/wayland.html
I’ve got an exec in my .xinitrc, I’d love to make it work under Xorg before even trying Wayland, which is my final goal.
I also set the /proc in the fstab just as explained in the blog article, and I started using the /usr/local/bin/startplasma-wayland.sh, black screen
And I’m getting an issue. SDDM loads fine, when I click on the “virtual keyboard” at the bottom left, it splits the screen in half, and the bottom is grey (no keyboard shown).
I can type my password with no issue at all, but when I press enter, I see the mouth cursor, and the screen remains black.
By the way, when I type “startx” on my tty, it does shows up TWM (which works, but I prefer a bit more modern WM), which leads me to : I’ve incorrectly set up my .xinitrc :
```
exec startkde
````
I can startx only with root, with my main user it doesn't work, I've an X error.
My user was added to "video" group tho.
Also when I launch firefox on TWM on Xorg I have this :
root@deckardbsd:~ # firefox&
[1] 25817
root@deckardbsd:~ # Crash Annotation GraphicsCriticalError : |[0][GFX1~]: glxtest: VA-API test failed: failed to initialise VAAPI connection. (t1=1.6472) [GFX1]: glxtest: VA-API test failed: failed to intialise VAAPI connection.
It does look like a graphical error. I must take a look on that, but if someone has an idea..
Firefox launchs well tho.
I must see if that works better with this driver : libva-intel-media-driver-22.4.3 (which doesn't work with wayland I think, it's a "legacy driver for xorg")
Do anyone have an idea ? Do you want me to share any kind of configuration file ?
Thanks for reading me,
Deckard.
