Hi, Recently I purchased FreeBSD CDROM from Walnut Creek. I am able to install unix in my PC. Only problem is I am unable to start X-Windows. I have gone through the Greg Lehey's "Installing and Running FreeBSD"book thouroughly. But I am unable to find whats wrong with the installation. Here is my PC configuration. CPU :Pentium 120 HDD :Maxtor 1.6Gig CDROM :Matshita 8 speed (unable to install from cdrom, so I used DOS partition. Mouse :Microsoft 2 button Network card :NE2000 compatable. Monitor :Digital 15" SVGA Model:PCXBV-BD Sound card :16 bit sound blaster Pro Srectrum Graphics card :2MB Diamond stealth 3D 2000 RAM :16MB EDO When I try to give either startx or xinit command, I am getting XF86config: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config config error: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config:150 and some configured driver names. ChordMiddle ^^^^^^^^^^^ Can't use ChordMiddle with Emulate3Buttons X connection to :0.0 broken (explict kill or server shutdown) Whether I need to initiate any daemons as a root before I start X-Windows? Are there any commands to be executed?I am not sure whether I am providing enough information or not. If you would like know any specific information please let me know. Thank you verymuch for spending time -Madhu ********************************************************************* PINNU MADHUSUDHANA REDDY ********************************************************************* DEPT.
