Hi This is an FYI message more than anything. I started a thread on the FreeBSD forums regarding something that happened to one of my new systems. I installed using the onboard video card and had problems - KDE screensaver wouldn't start, libreoffice trouble, etc. Was hoping that getting a standalone would solve them, so I installed it. Erased the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file because the onboard chip is radeon and the standalone is nvidia. Per the handbook, startx may work without configuration. However, when I did startx as a regular user, it didn't work and upon reboot, my system won't make it through the boot process to a prompt. Don't know if the problem is in X11, KDE, or somewhere else, but wanted to let somebody know as it's a very serious bug to have. You can find all the details and steps I took in the thread found at http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=26849 Feel free to e-mail me for more information, but my plan is to wipe the system & start over in the near future unless I get some help on how to get it working. Thanks for your time. Jim
