Check your kernel config on boot up. I believe that sio2 (aka COM3, aka cuaa2) isn't configured in the default configuration. You can get into the configuration by booting with the -c option. Enable sio2 and you'll have a lot more luck. > Also, TWM seems to be my window manager under X, how do I use a different > one? I found no options for using Windowmaker or Afterstep, the 2 > windowmanagers I remember installing. If you're starting your X session from xdm then edit (or create) a .xsession file and add a line like: exec afterstep or exec windowmaker whichever it is that you decide to use. Remove any lines which exec twm (only one window manager should be run and it should be the last thing executed). If you're starting X with startx or xinit then the file you should be editing is .xinitrc. -- Greg Lewis glewis@trc.adelaide.edu.au Computing Officer +61 8 8303 3237 Teletraffic Research Centre To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
