Hi all, I have a c810e intel integrated motherboard with 810 video chipset. I have been wholly unsuccessful installing FBSD4.2 and then X so it works. Using the X3.3.3 version (I think it is) off the new 4.2 disk set installs no worries no worries but it doesn't support my video adapter! So.... I had troubles doing a clean install this time using ftp files of X ver 4.2 (wouldn't read some of the tgz's etc) So I tried a clean install this time using sysinstall and installing x ver 4.1 I found on the new "extra packages" diskset. Troubles again. It hung trying to pkg_add the xservers and another (man??) I don't want to give up but it seems I am just wasting my time. I now seek your help. * What if I clean install x ver 3.3.x from my standard FBSD4.2 disk1 and then upgrade BEFORE configuring x ?? How do I upgrade then? From where? I am assuming my disk4 x packages have errors! I am a bit of a newbie here. I would really appreciate some step by step.
