If you rebuilt the kernel, the 'disabled' keyword on the 'device psm0' is still there. If you boot with the '-c' option to the Boot: prompt you can re-enable the device. > > When i try to run "startx", i have a message like that : > "ELF binary, type not known, xinit : server error. You probably installed the Linux versions of X and not the FreeBSD versions. While the X versions may work, the FreeBSD ones are going to do a lot better. The FreeBSD versions are on ftp://ftp.freebsd.org in /pub/FreeBSD/x.x.x-RELEASE/XF86xx, depending on what version of FreeBSD you have.
