Just to add another data point, I'm having the exact trouble you are. I installed 4.2, configured X (it ran just fine at my selected resolutions during the install), rebooted, and got the above KDENABIO error. I too did not install KDE, and I seriously doubt that has anything to do with it since it's an error in the X server itself. I wasn't able to find the error string in the XFree documentation, but my best guess at its meaning is possibly "keyboard enable I/O" error? Maybe it's a problem with the console driver in the kernel? This is just speculation of course. I get the error in a number of situations: using the XF86_SVGA server, the VGA16 server, and the Mach64 server for my card. I also rebuilt the kernel and got the same results. Any ideas are much appreciated! Mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
