Reply-to: harverso@aztec.co.za Priority: normal X-mailer: Pegasus Mail for Windows (v2.10) Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hey there all, You have been warned... This is a LONG message ;) I have just installed xfree86311 ( the version distributed with 2.0.5) on a machine and I am getting a strange response I've never seen on any other server. It is dying without a fatal: error message or anything like that and I'm at a loss as to why... The server starts up, Opens the display (with a nice 'lil ol cross for my mouse cursor) stays open for 3 or for seconds and then closes ( and all I see on the command line is : waiting for X server to shut down..) Oh : the card is a vesa cirrus with the CL-GD5430 Chipset, The monitor is an ultra cs1404 server output and Xf86 below..
