Hi,
Recently I purchased FreeBSD CDROM from Walnut Creek. I am able
to install unix in my PC. Only problem is I am unable to start X-Windows.
I have gone through the Greg Lehey's "Installing and Running FreeBSD"book
thouroughly. But I am unable to find whats wrong with the installation.
Here is my PC configuration.
CPU :Pentium 120
HDD :Maxtor 1.6Gig
CDROM :Matshita 8 speed (unable to install from cdrom, so I used DOS
partition.
Mouse :Microsoft 2 button
Network card :NE2000 compatable.
Monitor :Digital 15" SVGA Model:PCXBV-BD
Sound card :16 bit sound blaster Pro Srectrum
Graphics card :2MB Diamond stealth 3D 2000
RAM :16MB EDO
When I try to give either startx or xinit command, I am getting
XF86config: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config
config error: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config:150
and some configured driver names.
ChordMiddle
^^^^^^^^^^^
Can't use ChordMiddle with Emulate3Buttons
X connection to :0.0 broken (explict kill or server shutdown)
Whether I need to initiate any daemons as a root before I start
X-Windows? Are there any commands to be executed?I am not sure whether I
am providing enough information or not. If you would like know any
specific information please let me know.
Thank you verymuch for spending time
-Madhu
