Wait... If you have the initial X11 screen working, what are you trying to do now? If Xorg starts up for you, you would appear to have a working xorg.conf file already.

@Lazy, I just read your first post in this thread; I hope you can see why it's fairly confusing. It jumps around all over the place in a non-chronological order.
I think by a full-fledged X11 environment, you're probably referring to a DE. This is covered in the FreeBSD Handbook in 5.7 Desktop Environments.

I was quoting again from the FreeBSD Unleashed-book, and interpreted it as that simply having the test screen for X11 working is not sufficient to have a proper GUI. BTW I did enter Code:

What you need to do is what anomie suggest and setup a Desktop Environment as that is what you referred to as the GUI.

The "initial screen" as I see figured in the book is "...running under the bare-bones TWM window manager". I never got that far though. It's probably best I leave this a day and try again tomorrow with /usr/sbin/sysinstall and a fresher head |

It would maybe be more appropriate to read the manpage about xorg
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?q...EASE+and+Ports than any printed book (apparently for xorg 6.9).

I did read another chapter meanwhile btw, about "advanced X11 configuration" and re-did the xorgconfig-tool according to this chapter's supposedly correct guidelines - one word: errors... (edit: I should add I have no idea about my videocard memory, and thus shouldn't blame the book!) I will look at those man-pages tomorrow though! Thanks for the link. edit: all solved meanwhile; had someone at the house who fixed it in a few minutes :-) he was in such a hurry though that it was to fast to make notes :-( Last edited by Lazy; 30th May 2008 at 10:23 PM. |
