Graphics: Known Issues

Permission errors, or inability to start X when using the DRM kernel modules?
- Make sure your user is a member of the video group, otherwise you will not have access to /dev/drm/ devices:
  - # pw groupmod video -m <youruser>

Xorg -configure crashes with a “Segmentation fault”:
- Do not use Xorg -configure anymore: it is recommended to let Xorg auto-configure itself.
- If you need to override part of the configuration, create a config file under /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ containing only the relevant section.

There are reports that users on i386 hardware have problems using the drm-kmod package.
- A workaround for this is to disable PAE in /boot/loader.conf: hw.above4g_allow=0

Support for aarch64 and powerpc* are works-in-progress.
