Hi, I am setting a FreeBSD 10.1 (amd64) machine for a company. This machine is to provide all important services including a mail server and printing services. The company's mail service is currently hosted by an external provider, who also looks after DNS. At installation time, I set the machine name to roundabout.freebsd10dot1.amd64 When I starting work on setting up a mail server (yet to choose from Postfix/Qmail), I thought it would be better to change the hostname to freebsd10dot1.roundabout.com When I did this and rebooted, I found that the X server fails to start. There are some lines in /var/log/Xorg.log complaining about invalid configuration in xorg.conf.d, but nothing much more except for a few control characters like Ctrl-O and Ctrl-B What could be the problem here ? -- Regards Manish Jain
