Hello,

 

I am a Newbie to BSD and I have a problem configuring = the X11.

First I installed FreeBSD without any problem, but = when I want to configure X11, I constantly get the message that the X Server can’t start.

I have read the chapter about Configuring X, it says = that (a different way than using /stand/sysinstall) you can configure X if you = type

XFree86 = –configure, it than makes a new XF86Config.new file to = edit.

But when I do this, my monitor goes black and than = turns off for about 10 sec. and than it switches on again, but than I can’t = see anything

it just turns on.

After I reboot (with = ctrl+alt+del or the power button), I do have the file XF86Config.new that should be created, = nothing wrong about that, but I

still can’t start X with startx because than I get the same thing as when I create the XF86Config.new = file.

 

I have a Intel 810e chipset, and I have read that = XFree86 4.X supports these chips.

I also read that if you want to configure the XF86Config file for these chips that you have to load = the agp.ko module into the kernel to use agpgart=

I have done this by adding the line agp_load=3D”= YES” to the /boot/loader.conf<= /span> file, they said it than loads the module at = booting.

I also created the AGP device node = in the /dev directory with sh MAKEDEV agpgart, but with all these changes, I = still can’t configure or get the X

server starting.

 

I don’t know if I am doing something wrong or = missing something, but when I do I hope you guys can help me with this, because = for so far I like BSD

and would like to learn much more of it. =

 

Greetings

J.J. Rijpkema
