I'm trying to install XFree86, and the configuration and resulting log look fine, except for "No devices" detected, and "No screen". I checked the documentaion and FAQ's both here and on the XFree86 site, along with the archived bugs and letters, and couldn't find an answer. As I/O has not been established for the BSD machine, below I indicate the hardware and software, configuration used for the Config file, and the relevant results from the log file (the remainder of the log file indicated proper loading of everything else): XFree86 V11, Revision 0, Rel 6.6 FreeBSD 4.10 i386 Intel Pentium II 266 MHZ/256MB RAM/4 MB Video Ram Intel 440 Chipset Dell M570 VGA Monitor NVIDIA AGP Integrated Graphics Card Chromatic MPACT DVD/Display Controller I used the scripted configuration facility in sysinstall, and then verified the contents of the Config file: NVIDIA generic card chosen (suitable for AGP cards), "nv" Monitor cycling set to the industry standards given by explicitly downloading specs, and also verifying manually via the CRT: HorizSync: 31.5-82 VertRefresh 40-150 Generic VGA Default Depth 24 When running, I get the errors: "(EE) No devices detected" "Fatal server error: no screens found", followed by a breaking of the X connection and two copies of the following: "xauth: (argv):1: bad display name ":0" in "remove" command" --probably due to X crashing Now, in the log file, the NV driver is loaded, with the following final result: "(EE) No devices detected" "Fatal server error: no screens found" There are no other errors or warnings in the log file, except for an unavailable font that was skipped. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. _________________________________________________________________ Don’t just search. Find.
