The monitor then switches itself off after displaying the message for 20-30 seconds. I've figured changing gdm_enable=3D"YES" to "NO" in /etc/rc.conf and starting XFCE manually by running /usr/X11R6/bin/startxfce4 does the trick, but then I get no gdm. I did remove a lot of SCSI and RAID stuff from the kernel config file and adding the following before compiling it: device atapicam options PERFMON options VESA options SC_PIXEL_MODE options ALTQ options ALTQ_CBQ options ALTQ_RED options ALTQ_RIO options ALTQ_HFSC options ALTQ_PRIQ # uname -a FreeBSD 6.1-STABLE FreeBSD 6.1-STABLE #1: Thu May 11 00:55:32 CEST 2006 I'm a bit unsure what to do now. I don't mind starting xfce4 manually, but something's not right here. -- yattaran
