Honestly, I really don't understand the "I can't attach Xorg.log" wording. It's a physical log file, just a regular file. How is it that you cannot copy it from the particular machine/hard drive/filesystem and put it someplace on the Internet, or paste the relevant parts inline in one of the emails? > As of know I will rebuild world, install new kernel remove all ports > and start from scratch. If I can't get it to work with a fresh start. There's really nothing wrong with your ports and you'll be only wasting your time with this generic and pointless "Windows-style reinstall everything" procedure, without actually looking at the issue itself. The other poster(s) already told you. If you need any help, you will have to provide error messages, you will have to provide error logs (and you will have to properly configure your xorg, because as you already noticed, autodetection clearly doesn't work the way you expect it to). > I will wait for BETA 3 or an RC :) I just want to help in testing, > it is that I can't supply the information as I would like to :( I can 100% guarantee that BETA3 nor RC won't change anything in regard to the issue you're experiencing. Your problem lies elsewhere and you didn't even start systematically investigating it. m. -- Michal Varga, Stonehenge (Gmail account)
