.... I am following the instructions at [1]http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-config.h tml to get my newly installed xorg setup. I stepped through everything up to the 'Xorg -config xorg.conf.new -retro' which didn't fail, bit didn't behave quite like it was supposed to .... Machine is AMD Jaguar Kabini based, quad core, 1.3 GHz, 25W, gfx on die: Aug 9 10:23:34 kabini1 kernel: CPU: AMD Sempron(tm) 3850 APU with Radeon(tm) R3 (1297.59-MHz K8-class CPU) xorg detects it as: BoardName "Kabini [Radeon HD 8280 / R3 Series]" The above test is supposed to give a black & grey grid on the screen, w/ an X-mouse. I have the mouse, & it moves around, although click-&-drag does nothing, & I might have the grid, although it is pixel-by-pixel, not finitely sized grid .... The troubleshooting page is little help .... Am I good to go or not :-/ ? TIA .... -- William A.
