I no longer have a traceable error set, just a black screen.=20 Just in case I _have_ somehow cocked up, I need to ask an obvious question. Does X still compile with twm by default, or do I need to compile a window manager to do anything? Xorg.0.log nopasted to http://rafb.net/p/tCJhpm51.html=20 xorg.conf has been proven not to be wrong. ( Yes I realise it looks normal. But surely X doesn't take five minutes to start? It didn't on my Pentium II :( ) ------------ Networking ------------ It seems FreeBSD does not always try to do DHCP configuration at boot of the onboard gem0 - This is slightly annoying as it always boots up thinking it's 1976. I'm sure you can understand why this is of concern. I've tried editing some of the bootscripts for this to no avail - any ideas?=20 ------- Audio ------- I'm not sure of the soundcard this mac uses, but I believe it's Apple Crystal (a look at the motherboard and there's a small chip that says CRYSTAL that looks like the sound chip on the iMac) so... I think FreeBSD supports it. Is there a good way to test sound with the base system (i.e. without installing mpg123?) Thanks in advance for any answers, and I apologise if i'm getting slightly annoying.=20 --=-ZY2JOIBYRILVtykURs/y Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEABECAAYFAkj+yrAACgkQRtTtv0BbTe5dqACcCaKzNHIa1MmkX/Y/YqCxHWXF eNMAni+VQe5WoPWvRkMkJ97a4bRiRd7e =MCn2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-ZY2JOIBYRILVtykURs/y--
