Cc: liberty6@twcny.rr.com Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Dear freebsd.org, I am PISSED!!! I used to be a winblows user, converted to Linux, and ran OpenBSD for a few months. But since I've installed the $49.99 CompUSA boxed version of FreeBSD 4.0, when I run startx my system crashes! Is this what you consider to be "rock-solid stability??" Sometimes when I run startx, I get X to work. The other times, my system crashes to a point where I need to do a physical powerdown of my machine, cause even ctrl-alt-del wont work. I have a pentium 2 300MHz class machine, with an SiS 5598 video board. Nobody in the chat rooms knows anything about what I'm talking about. And I am PISSED!!! OpenBSD was working great (even via an ftp install!) But no, FreeBSD wants to be the luser in my box!! What should I do to fix this problem??? Please email me with the fix!
