This is an OpenPGP/MIME signed message (RFC 2440 and 3156) --------------enigC8691D2AB570D9C0D4ABA047 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable First time I installed FreeBSD (yes, there was a first time, I managed to hose the root account and had to start over again) I was asked something about whether or not my vid card was PCI or AGP. I answered AGP (as that is all I have that is halfway decent). I had Xorg up and running with minimum fuss (aside from it's choice of default wm even when I had wmaker already installed), I had no such prompt this time, which I didn't think of until now. I've got the latest Xorg installed from ports (I think it's 7.4_2). http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-config.html #Xorg -configure <bunch of stuff about it failing> No devices to configure. Configuration failed. Which is a pile of malarky, obviously. It also says it cannot find fbdev. hald and dbus are installed (although I get "no such command" when I try to start dbus from the cli (despite it being a requirement for like 50 million different packages (yes, I can nest parenthesis and use hyperbole all day long), half of which are probably installed by now)= ). I am /not/ reinstalling for this relatively minor problem, though my patience (mainly with my lack of apparent ability) is wearing thin. --=20 Yours In Christ, PIT Emails are not formal business letters, whatever businesses may want. --------------enigC8691D2AB570D9C0D4ABA047 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJLY0HNAAoJEENZQ8DH7rW06oIIAIWNq/i1nJ0UXZ15SIixZ89I aaCVliis9x6e/T0bw0taCXmdTyHgU5PXbehg34loECYWUtYNDgzWiYTxpzTj1mXJ 6ULYgUv0UGzOsjq0znTaIgAmHLr58rOwB6oS9/kDDOQWWAi4J7ulmp8Py18xNQmI ICd5ZpPB1kCnjwZjTFBYJ7JjgTDYS7gJ3ASifamY2n43ZUaT9xg7MH0C7m9d05vQ Aj8+NvYA+JXuqPlrG/obiIVi2bpR8RKE6GJJxktjtbzArhAYPnPh/4D/gxLCRrcF Cci2dY9S31n0SQyRDWbdOgvzl1NfUpFsCMDe+Dhn4E9BI3wTG5x+cSXsdaRifkU= =VXSZ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enigC8691D2AB570D9C0D4ABA047--
