It would be good to look at www.FreeBSD.org/handbook/index.html for this, just in case you are missing something. I am not quite sure what went wrong. There is instructions both for getting ports off the CD-ROM and the internet. >I'm trying to config XF86 too from /stand/install. >I am to be congratulated of having a working server. >But startx ends with errors too. I've tried with SVGA and VGA16, 8bbp and >640x480. These errors tell me that there are "no valid modes found" or "There >is no mode definition named "640x480". It sound like you installed the right server, so I am not quite sure what would be wrong. >When I "installed" the VGA16, there was a question about linking this, and I >answered Yes. For SVGA no question. Can this be it? I doubt that is the problem. >I'm going nuts on this! I did have RedHat installed for a period and then >Caldera1.1. And with this very same graphics.

But I am definately not sure. Does anyone wiser on this list know? This is being cc-ed to the questions list. Hopefully someone else can be of more help to you. ---------------------------------------- Marius mbking0@vm.sc.edu University of South Carolina, Columbia "We will get along fine once you realize that I am almost always wrong."
