I have a IBM thinkpad T42p. xorg 7.4 is pretty much a disaster for me. First I
wonder if anyone has gotten 7.4 to work on this or similar hardware. The system
is 3+ years old when it was still IBM.
I have done this a time or two starting with the first version of KDE and
FreeBSD 4.<something>. I believe I have tried all of the options in the handbook
plus a couple of various from this list and google. So I was not going to add
xdm and Xorg output, at first anyway.
The one thing I have not done is upgrade the BIOS and am not sure that matters.
I was/am afraid of breaking an otherwise great system. It runs xorg 7.3 and
KDE 3 or 4 fine. I go to this point because I broke things trying to install
firefox3 and got all tangled up in upgrading ports and thought I would give xorg
7.4 a try.
I am running FreeBSD 7.2. Xorg was installed using pkg_add on a system without
any ports. Upon hitting the xdm trap, I also installed that package.
All variations give me a black screen with the keyboard locked. startx, xdm and
xorg all do the same. I assume this is a hardware issue and hope someone found a
way around it.
Thank you for any thoughts, tips, ideas, etc.
