I am having an odd little X setup problem. I run XF86Setup, and it works mostly fine. After everything is set up, it is time for it to test the configuration. The grey hatched screen with the x mouse pointer shows up, but I never get the little buttons that ask me if the configuration is correct. It just skips right to where it should go if the configuration was successful. Then, when I execute startx, I get the same grey screen with the X mouse pointer. X then shuts down. Every time. Granted, this is not a typical install. I am trying to get X to run in FreeBSD on a vmware machine running in NT. I get the same results whether I choose generic VGA server with 16 colors and 640X480 or whether I install the vmware tools for freeBSD. The only difference is that with the tools, I get a larger grey screen before it blanks out. Has anybody out there managed to get FreeBSD working in a virtual VMWare machine with X working? Thanks in advance for any help I receive. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
