I'm relatively new to FreeBSD and am having a bit of trouble getting Xorg up and running on my laptop. I've searched the handbook, FAQ, Google, and FreeBSD newsgroups to no avail. After following the handbook instructions to set up an xorg.conf =66ile (the command xorg -configure actually hangs my system, so I used both xorgcfg -textmode and xorgconf to generate the file) everytime I run startx(1) or Xorg(1) the system hangs. Checking out the /var/log/xorg.0.log file shows the final item as: (II) Loading sub module "ddc" (II) LoadModule: "ddc" (II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/mofules/libddc.a (II) Module ddc: vendor=3D"X.Org Foundation" compiled for 6.7.0, module version =3D 1.0.0 ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 0.7 Everytime I run this it hangs, I CTRL-ALT-DEL to shut it down and this is the place where the log file ends - EVERY TIME. Here's my specs: Toshiba Satellite 1805-S203 (yes, I know it's not on the compatible list) 800MHz Pentium II (I believe... it's been a while since I've had to quote specs) 128M RAM 15G HD =46reeBSD 5.3-RELEASE (Build date: 16 October 2004) Xorg (X11, Release 6.7)=20 Any thoughts or help of any kind would be greatly appreciated.
