Hi folks:
It has been for three weeks which I am struggling to install and
test the FreeBSD_2.1 on my new computer but in spite of all my efforts
so far I have been able to partially install the package. The
first/main problem occurred when I was trying to install the XFree86
Version 3.1.2 and answering the corresponding questions regarding the
Video and Graphical cards. I have a 17" monitor (CTX 1785GMe,
1280x1024 dp) and for the graphics I do have a Diamond Stealth-64
Video VRAM (4 MB) accelerator. I guess I got a wrong set-up for the
video/graphics. The message following the invocation of "startx" is as
follows:
"XFree86 Version 3.1.2 / X window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6001)
Operating System: FreeBSD 2.0.5
Configured drivers:
S3: accelerated server for S3 graphics adaptors (Patchlevel 0)
mmio_928, s3_generic
Using syscons driver with X support (version 2.0)
(using VT number 4)
Fatal server error:
No config file found!
Note, the X server no longer looks for XF86Config in $HOME
X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown)"
I should bring to your observation that the "XF86Connfig" is located
at:
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config
Regarding the graphics, I know "Diamond Stealth-64 Video VRAM" is
using S3_968 Chipset, Ti3026 RAMDAC, and Ti3026 Clockchip. The monitor
has the following specifications:
"Model: 1785GMe
Horizontal: 30-85KHz
Vertical: 50-110Hz
PC Compatibility:
648x480 VGA 60 to 75Hz refresh
800x600 56 to 75Hz refresh
1024x768 60 to 75Hz non-interlaced
1280x1024 75Hz non-interlaced
1600x1200 60Hz non-interlaced
Display Colors: Analog unlimited
Video Bandwidth: 135MHz
Dot Pitch: 0.26mm"
It will be greatly appreciated if you give me a detailed direction for
the successful intallation of the FreeBSD_2.1 and XFree86. Thank you
in advance for your kind consideration.
Yours,
Kazem Akbari.
