At last...with you guy's helping emails I was able to successfully install FreeBSD 3.2, and with some kernel hacking, and I/O altering, I got my ethernet card working. One problem though...after I boot up and log in as root, I type startx and this nasty error comes up: " execve failed for /usr/X11R6/bin/x(errno2)" its a little weird...my mouse shows up on the screen, I can move it around and all that, however I'm still in console and I can execute commands. Its as if I'm halfway in X and halfway in console. Whats going on? I ran the non-graphical Xfree86 config...everything seemed to go ok execept for my video card selection. I have no idea what my video card is and what memory it has! So I just guessed. Is there any way to re-configure it without re-installing FreeBSD? I need help. One final thing...During installation, I chose to install KDE 1.1.1, but it couldnt find "Mesa". I have the 4 CD set, so mabye KDE is on one of the other CD's? How would I install/view the software while logged in FreeBSD? I would appreciate any response/flames/confusion you can offer me...thanks To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
