Dear folks,
I hope this is the correct list to post this message.
I have successfully installed FreeBSD-9.0-BETA2 to an amd64 bit
machine, I have used the ports to install xfce and xorg. When I type
startx, I get a screen with a bunch of colors no mouse, no keyboard,
just colors. The machine has nvidia onboard graphics. I am trying to
get kernel sources installed via sysinstall to install nvidia-driver
but I can't get anywhere from any ftp site I select at random. I have
updated to latest sources available on the ports and it comes up the
same. I have to use the nv driver, should I try the nouveau driver?
What should I do? I want to help in testing and have no way to report
bugs as without X there's not much one can do :(
Thanks for advice/suggestions/comments. I am successfully running
FreeBSD 8.2 amd64 on three machines two at home and one at work in
case it is important/relevant in the thread.
Regards,
Antonio
There is no X, I try to get information about the onboard video and I get
VendorName "nVidia Corporation"
BoardName "C61 [GeForce 6150SE nForce 430]"
I tried installing nouveau but it did not do any difference, screen is
garbled no X.
The BSD install setup was too fast and I did not select sources for
kernel and now I can't install nvidia driver to see if I could get X
working :(
Again, I appreciate any input given to see how I can help in testing.
Regards,
Antonio

Have you installed xorg-server? you can look with pkg_info | grep xorg
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=xorg-ser&stype=all&sektion=all
When i install a new system with gui, i forget most time xorg-server ;).
