Lenovo T500: No screens found
On Lenovo T500 notebook I am getting this with NomadBSD 1.3:
[ 32.349] (EE) No devices detected.
[ 32.349] (EE)
Fatal server error:
[ 32.349] (EE) no screens found(EE)
[ 32.349] (EE)
Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support
at http://wiki.x.org
for help.
[ 32.350] (EE) Please also check the log file at "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" for additional information.
[ 32.350] (EE)
[ 32.366] (EE) Server terminated with error (1). Closing log file.
Tried disabling syscons
or using VESA
but it's still the same. I was able to bring X up using X -configure
but automatic detection would be nice.

Did the graphical setup start when you first booted NomadBSD?
There are the following configuration options in BIOS (version 3.22), menu Config
-> Display
:
Graphics Device [Integrated Graphics]
[Discrete Graphics]
[Switchable Graphics]
OS Detection for Switchable Graphics [Disabled]
[Enabled]
For NomadBSD to correctly configure and run X, the Graphics Device
needs to be set to either Integrated Graphics
(intel
) or Discrete Graphics
(radeon
). Further, if the settings is to survive reboots OS Detection for Switchable Graphics
needs to be disabled.
I have no idea how good the support for switchable GPUs is in FreeBSD but maybe a note to disable switchable graphics in BIOS if there are problems detected could make its way into the handbook.
Thank you for the feedback, @jose1711.

We will do so.
Could you please copy intel_setup and ati_amd_setup to /usr/bin
, and copy initgfx to /etc/rc.d
, and try to boot NomadBSD with Switchable Graphics enabled?
Thank you, I will do so but it's going to take a while as momentarily I do not have access to this hw.
Copied the files from repository and reenabled switchable graphics. Now I at least get a text terminal (with both autodetect and VESA). Sadly, X are not working. Will provide more information - just tell me what to supply. Thanks.
