Every time I try to run XFree86 -configure my machine reboots. I get the same behavior if I write a config file and place it in /etc/X11/XF86Config. Pretty much any time I try to do anything with X the machine reboots. I have an Athlon 1.2 GHz with 1.5 GB of RAM and my video card is an AGP Matrox G450 with 32 MB of RAM. The machine is a Compaq. I've loaded the agp module at boot time by adding agp_enable="YES" to my /boot/loader.conf and manually created the agpgart device using sh MAKEDEV agpgart. I see no message to my screen after I try to run startx, XFree86 -configure, etc., but when the machine reboots I do see this in dmesg: kernel trap 9 with interrupts disabled Fatal trap 9: general protection fault while in kernel mode instruction pointer = 0x8:0xc02a351b stack pointer = 0x10:0xec887cf0 frame pointer = 0x10:0xec887d10 code segment = base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b = DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1 processor eflags = resume, IOPL = 3 current process = 152 (XFree86) interrupt mask = none trap number = 9 panic: general protection fault syncing disks... 5 1 done Uptime: 2m36s Automatic reboot in 15 seconds - press a key on the console to abort --> Press a key on the console to reboot <-- Rebooting... Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jason To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
