Sam, that's not the only problem I have when trying to build from ports on 9.1
It's an ATI Radeon video card. I forget whether it's a 67xx or a 76xx series. I saw a couple of the problems I have on the KDE list. One is the screen goes black leaving just the mouse pointer when you log out. I'll try the things suggested on that list to see if I can get it to work. Thanks for your help!

I guess the other problems I have are best asked on the kde list. > Stan, > if that is your only problem, that is a KNOWN issue, and it exists in > PC-BSD as well.. it has to do with KMS/GEM there are many posts talking > about it on various FreeBSD mailing lists.. > there is no fix for this currently, and it explains why FreeBSD 8.4 works > for you... becasue I don't think KMS was backported to FreeBSD 8.x > my question for you now is, do you NEED KMS/GEM support? what type of video > device do you have? > > Xorg has a new option for make.conf WITH_NEW_XORG= > > -- > > Sam Fourman Jr. > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org" _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
