Ayres" Organization: independent X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.01Gold (Win16; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Problems during installation of XFree86 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello, The last communication was concerning enabling the PS/2 mouse was successful. The command -c at during the Boot, allowed disabling of the device mse0 and enabling the device psm0. Exiting and saving with the funtion key "q" saved the kernel settings. However a new problem has presented itself. After enabling the xdm window manager using the editor (file /etc/ttys) with the command ttyv4 "/usr/XR11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon" xterm on secure entering root and typing xdm -nodaemon The window opens with only the upper left corner of the window showing asking for the user id and password. After entering my user id and password, the window clears and another window appears with the computer name, line number, and cursor. The cursor doesn't blink, no keyboard entries are accepted nor any mouse movement, in words the keyboard goes dead. In order to exit the program the power must be shut down. There are only two conflicts listed in the kernel config file, both are in the Input section, the psm0 device, which says conflict allowed and the keyboard, the port addresses are very similar psm0 is 0x60-0x63 the keyboard 0x60-0x60f. Could this be the cause of the keyboard freezing and if it is what changes should I make? I am a novice so please be specific. How do you fix the X-Window System opening window so that it isn't cut off in the middle of the page? Thanks, Jeff Ayres
