Going graphical or not?
Hi people, this is first venture with FreeBSD. After installation I was looking forward to getting to grips with the OS. So after installation I promptly got to the login, logged in as root. First of all lets get graphical. pushed out the startx command and in a blink of an eye, nothing. My fine 19 inch flat screen flickered and displayed no signal and died with a no signal display. I was unable to get back to the command prompt.
Okay maybe I missed something. On another PC I promptly started reading the FreeBSD docs. Following the instructions I ran the following on rebooting into FreeBSD.. Code:
# cd /usr/ports/x11/xorg # make install clean Rebooted again and tried the next suggestion... Code:
# Xorg -configure # Xorg -config xorg.conf.new Comparing Slacks xorg.conf with FreeBSD's, they are near enough identical apart from a couple of minor points. Slacks conf "keyboard" Code:
Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "kbd" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "gb" EndSection Code:
Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "kbd" EndSection Code:
Identifier "Card0" Driver "radeon" VendorName "ATI Technologies Inc" BoardName "Radeon 9100 IGP" BusID "PCI:2:5:0" Code:
Identifier "Card0" Driver "ati" VendorName "ATI Technologies Inc" BoardName "Radeon 9100 IGP" BusID "PCI:2:5:0" Slackware... Code:
Identifier "Screen0" Device "Card0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" ..... the same from here Code:
Identifier "Screen0" Device "Card0" Monitor "Monitor0" SubSection "Display" ..... the same from here "XkbModel" "pc105" and "XkbLayout" "gb" as well as the DefaultDisplay set to 24. I left the Driver for the card set at ati. How do i know if FreeBSD has a Radeon Driver? Okay. Same result nothing. Where am I going wrong? Version = FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE i386 X.Org X Server 1.4.0 Important part of Xorg.0.log Code:
(==) Log File: "/var/log/Xorg.0.org", Time date and time here (==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" Parse error on line 378 of section Device in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf "ATI" is not a valid keyword in this section. (EE) Problem parsing the config file (EE) Error parsing the config file Fatal server error: No Screens Found
