I'm trying to do something similar, except with an HD4000 (i5-3570K) on 9.1-RC2.
The problem I'm having, after setting the make variables as above, is that
xorg-drivers port doesn't show the intel driver. In fact, there's the specific
part of the Makefile:
.if (${ARCH} == "amd64" || ${ARCH} == "i386") && !defined(WITH_NEW_XORG)
VIDEO_ON+= intel
.endif
So what driver should I be using?
Thanks,
Neal.
