--tKW2IUtsqtDRztdT Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi Everyone, I literraly juts signed on tho the list, and now it's time for some n00b qu= estions. I didn't know if I whould ask on the technical list seeing as IMHO this is = a pretty n00b question. See I've got quite an extensive linux background so I figured it can't be t= hat difficult on freeBSD. I've played around with BSD once or twice (back i= n version 3 and 4) but never for very long before giving up and moving back= to SuSE. However, this time I think i got the bull by the horns! I've migrated all m= y stuff from linux to BSD (workstation wise) there's just a couple of outst= anding issues. Ie. KDM/GDM needs to work properly, as other people use my m= achine for an X server. And i am currently still sorting out mailman with postfix. Which was my own= fault as to why it's not working. However, there are two things that are bugging me. Whenever I leave X, the = console seems to get darker, eventually I can't see it anymore, and have to= reboot to sort the problem out. I feel this could be video card related - = I have a GeForce 4 MX 420 with the latest NVidia drive. And I have disabled= the AGP, ACPI is also disabled otherwise X just hangs. So I was wondering if anyone has any clue as to what this might be? And second I dunno how many of you use gkrellm in windowmaker but, i can't = get it to appear on every work space. This I am sure, is a real dumb thing = on my part because i feel it must be something really simple. Other than that however, everything is going great!=20 Let me know if this is too technical for a newbie list so that I can put it= on the tech list too if need be.
