Re: Getting going with a new Dell 7810
You would be more likely to get good feedback on Xorg issues by sending them to x11@. X is not a part of stable or any base system. It i a group of ports and the issues with it are often very esoteric. This is just not the best place to find expertise on them.

What does 'sysctl kern.vty' say? If it is not 'vt', you need the following stuff. /boot/loader.conf should contain kern.vty=vt And /etc/rc.conf kld_list=radeonkms Or something similar.
