So far, everything works fine, but I don't get the x-server running. I've configured everything so far. But there seem to be some problems with the videocard. standard vga is not accepted by FreeBSD included vmware drivers. I tried a litte around, but it won't work. On my other, "real" computer I had no difficulties runnig the x-server and kde for instance. So, is there anyone who maybe has some experience with this matter? I would really appreciate some help. Thanks in andvance Marcel -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen Marcel.lautenbach mailto:freebsd@xtsy.de
