I am trying to install FreeBSD 4.0 RELEASE. I go through the installation, and everything seems normal. I configure X windows just as I do in Linux. However, when I try to start X windows my monitor just goes into power saving mode. I am forced to do a hard reboot of my system in order to bring it up again. Sometimes, I manage to get into X, but the same thing happens when I try to exit X. This does not happen with Linux. I have a Diamond Monster Fusion 16mb AGP card, and a Panasonic P15 monitor. Has anyone encountered the same problem, and if so is there something that can be done about it? Please email your replies to vcardona@home.com. I am not yet on the list.
