It builds and installs fine, but when I type 'startx' the monitor changes video modes and then just remains black. I can't switch to any other consoles or hit C-A-BS or C-A-DEL. The system appears to totally freeze. I tried with different mouse protocols and a different video can setting (I have a 4M-Trident 3Dimage985 AGP, so I tried the 985 in the card database, but it didn't say AGP, so then I tried 975 AGP, and then 975 PCI). Anybody know of any problems? My second question is about cvsup. I installed it, but last time I used FreeBSD (6-8 months ago maybe?) it seems that the supfile was in a different format. If I want to track /usr/src and /usr/ports what would my cvsup file look like? I tried what I thought was correct, with by dasedir being /usr, but it starts to unpack all these RCS files in /usr/src... I wind up with /usr/CVSROOT and then all the ",v" files in /usr/src... uck. This isn't the way this is supposed to work, is it? uname -a reveils: FreeBSD beastie.citycom.com 3.0-19981122-SNAP FreeBSD 3.0-19981122-SNAP #0: Fri Nov 27 01:28:36 PST 1998 root@beastie.citycom.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/BEASTIE i386 Any suggesions? I really need to get this system up and useable soon, before I run out of time.
