I installed X.org-6.8.1 through ports on a laptop equipped with a Savage graphic card. At first I probed hardware with # Xorg -configure but # Xorg -config /root/xorg.conf.new leads to the hanging of the machine and a blank screen: no Xorg.0.log in /var/log Then I tried 'xorgconfig', giving in the same options used with OpenBSD and Linux, which work very well. But the X server seems to be unable to go up and hangs the machine whenever the "savage" driver is used. So I changed "savage" with "vesa" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf With these settings X bootstraps but the only way to kill it avoiding a total freeze is: # pkill -9 X Exiting from any window manager doesn't work. With pkill -9 X, the display freezes and I can go back to the console with CTRL + ALT + F1 but here I find the screen somewhat corrupted. I'm able to interact with the system only typing commands that I can see and rebooting the machine! I also found that this kind of corruption disappears if the kernel is rebuilt with raster mode (options ...) and 800x600 resolution is used: # vidcontrol -g 100x37 VESA_800x600 Now, I wish I could use the savage driver and a cleaner way to exit from X without the brutal 'kill -9' Any suggestions ? Here's attached /var/log/Xorg.0.log ------=_Part_1058_10160805.1104191497885 Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name="Xorg.0.log" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="Xorg.0.log" ------=_Part_1058_10160805.1104191497885--
