I believe your best bet is to let Xorg probe your devices automatically - i.e. don't have an xorg.conf in place when starting X.

Yes, I dont have an xorg to conf - I was a bit unclear, I meant which drivers should I instal from the xorg-drivers package as I dont generally install all of them.

On my end this will result in the "modesetting" driver being used, which is the suggested driver to use for intel and i believe amdgpu systems. it provides full acceleration, and is under active development upstream.  it should also be part of the xorg-server pkg, so you don't need to install any additional video drivers to use the modesetting driver.

Thats actually relly helpdful, thanks! - I dont see a modesetting driver in /usr/ports/x11-drivers though, Where did you get this driver from ?


it's from the xorg-server port/pkg:

$ pkg list xorg-server|grep modes
/usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/modesetting_drv.so
/usr/local/man/man4/modesetting.4.gz
$

cheers,
