Error X -configure fails on NetBSD: Number of created screens does not ...

Hello, my system is NetBSD 6.1.5 on AMD64.

'X -configure' prints following message:

"Number of created screens does not match number of detected devices"

Only motherboard's on-board graphic is using.

The relevant lines from the log file all begin with (EE). Here they are:

Code:
[  2560.459] (EE) No devices detected.
[  2560.459]
Fatal server error:
[  2560.459] no screens found
[  2560.459]

So it's not just finding not enough screens, it's finding none at all.

What's your graphics card / chipset?

Is this problem related to BIOS settings?

It's unlikely to be a BIOS problem.

Comment out this line:
Code:
BusID       "PCI:1:5:0"

Unless you have more than one card that may be more specific than needed.

I commented that line and ran [X -config xorg.conf.new], The result was that the monitor is turned off and don't show anything and none of CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE & CTRL-ALT-F1 don't worked. Then I changed
Code:
Driver      "radeon"

to
Code:
Driver      "vesa"

and ran mentioned command which get a blank x screen with mouse cursor in the form of big X, but no Window Manager, i haven't ~/.xinitrc.

I will be back 8/9h later.

Have you tried just not giving X a config file? It can autodetect fairly well these days.

VESA is a decent driver to fall back on if Radeon can't be convinced to work.

I copied xorg.conf.new as either xorg.conf to "/etc/X11/" and ran [startx], The result was that the x display screen with TWM was performed, but I don't think "vesa" be a good alternative for "radeon" driver.

newer /var/log/Xorg.0.log after the changes made:
