  • 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.
