Hi to alls. 4 of my servers are running FreeBSD 4.9 that I love so much. Unfortunately I have need GUI on my last server (5th) and there is no way to make the system working as KDE.(I have some software requiring GUI to work) The problem is here: If I try any LIVE-CD Linux on this server, the graphic card (ATI RAGE 128 AGP with 32MB) it is working smooth and perfect. I also tried to install RedHat 8.0/9.0/Fedora 1 and Suse 9.1 and all went ok! I have KDE/Gnome running smooth! I love FreeBSd and I need FreeBSD, but when I tried to configure the X11 (via /stand/sysinstall) always server return me the error : "XFree86 setup seems failed...." If I try to give a 'startx' from console, I have the following error : "no screen0 found" But the screen0 is there, in my config file. I tried to copy the setup details that Redhat/Suse used for my ATI card into FreeBSD system XFree86config file without success having same problem comes out. I don't want here to tell that Linux is working, because I don't either like/want Linux on my servers. I want also the 5th Server in BSD. I know... it's me, for sure... but I don't know WHERE I mistake! I give it a try using a S3 SAVAGE AGP 8Mega with the same result and same error! At the moment I'm at home so I cannot post the complete LOG error. Any idea Thanks in advance! David __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New and Improved Yahoo!
