Greetings all, I've just received a new Dell Precision 7810. I've installed FreeBSD 10.1 (UEFI boot), checked out sources, built world & kernel and am now running r284449. So far, so good.
The problem is Xorg. I'm running the latest Xorg in ports; I just did a 'make install clean' in /usr/ports/x11/xorg with no errors. The display card is a FirePro W4100. lspci shows: 03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Cape Verde GL [FirePro W4100] It has 4 DisplayPorts, and I have 2 monitors plugged in. If I run 'Xorg -configure' it says Number of created screens does not match number of detected devices. Configuration failed. Looking through /var/log/Xorg.0.log it appears that the X server is trying to use the RADEON driver, but ends with: ===== [ 1292.463] (--) Using syscons driver with X support (version 2.0) [ 1292.463] (--) using VT number 9 [ 1292.485] (II) [KMS] Kernel modesetting enabled.

Closing log file. ==== Should I be able to use this video card? I've done some googling, and apparently at least some Linux people are using it. It's not a huge deal if it doesn't work; I can install a Radeon HD 4670 that I know works. If I've mis-configured something, though, I'd like to fix it.
