Hello, Mess-mate! Thanks for your message! I had already found out that setting up the X-Ser= ver was not the problem really. The problem was that when you are logged in as root, the X-Server = did not read the /etc/XF86Config file (the one i was editing) but the $Xroot/lib/X11/XF86Co= nfig! So when I fixed this (coping the one from /etc/ to $Xroot/lib/X11/, I could run KDE perfec= tly. However, after configuring KDE, logging out and then logging in again, onc= e again the server hanged (pfffff.). I suppose (please correct me if I am wrong) that I have a write= permission problem somewhere for X-Windows/KDE. Is this a right assumption? How could this be= fixed? Many thanks in advance for your help regards, -brt El 10 Feb 2002 a las 21:32, mess-mate escrib=F3: >> If this can help : >> # >> ********************************************************************** >> # Graphics device section >> # >> ********************************************************************** >> >> Section "Device" >> Identifier "Generic VGA" >> Driver "vga" >> EndSection >> >> Section "Device" >> Identifier "S3 ViRGE (generic)" >> VendorName "Unknown" >> BoardName "Unknown" >> Driver "s3virge" >> # VideoRam 2048 >> # Clock lines >> >> >> # Uncomment following option if you see a big white block >> # instead of the cursor! >> # Option "sw_cursor" >> >> Option "DPMS" "on" >> EndSection >> >> >> >> # >> ********************************************************************** >> # Screen sections >> # >> ********************************************************************** >> >> >> Section "Screen" >> Identifier "screen1" >> Device "S3 ViRGE (generic)" >> Monitor "Nokia|Nokia 447ZA" >> DefaultColorDepth 16 >> Subsection "Display" >> Depth 8 >> Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x400" >> ViewPort 0 0 >> EndSubsection >> Subsection "Display" >> Depth 15 >> Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" >> ViewPort 0 0 >> EndSubsection >> Subsection "Display" >> Depth 16 >> Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" >> ViewPort 0 0 >> EndSubsection >> Subsection "Display" >> Depth 24 >> Modes "800x600" "640x480" >> ViewPort 0 0 >> EndSubsection >> Subsection "Display" >> Depth 32 >> Modes "800x600" "640x480" >> ViewPort 0 0 >> EndSubsection >> EndSection >> >> >> Section "ServerLayout" >> Identifier "layout1" >> Screen "screen1" >> >> InputDevice "Mouse1" "CorePointer" >> >> InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard" >> EndSection >> >> >> On Saturday 09 February 2002 23:40, you wrote: >> | Hello, RoadRunner, >> | >> | Thanks for your reply! >> | >> | El 8 Feb 2002 a las 20:53, RoadRunner escrib=F3: >> | >> On Fri, 8 Feb 2002 19:49:56 -0800 >> | >> >> | >> "Bert Hiddink" <hiddink@galileo.or.cr> wrote: >> | >> > Hello, >> | >> > >> | >> > I tried to get a X-Windows Server running with the following >> | >> >> | >> configuration:> FreeBSD release-4.4 on 5 year old Dells (Pentium >> | >> 200 MMX, 64Mb), S3 Trio+V chipset.> >> | >> >> | >> > I have installed X-Windows installed several times on other >> | >> > machines >> | >> >> | >> with FreeBSD, however, in this > case, I have not had succes so >> | >> far.
