I installed twm and changed .xinitrc to run it.
twm should have been part of the xorg install already.
I commented out the sections of xorg.conf that you suggested and changed the resolution. I changed the driver from vesa to nVidia but the nVidia driver could not be found and X exited. After restoring vesa I ran the test on xorg.conf -retro and it worked ok. However, startx still produced only a black screen.
nVidia is a long story. There are binary drivers provided by nVidia, and there's a limited open-source driver provided by xorg. Someone else is going to have to provide detail.
For now, vesa at 1024x768 should be fine.
I was not able to make heads or tails out of the pastebin.com site. Until FBSD X is working on the pc I have to use Netscape 4.79 on a Sun running Solaris 2.6 (which I would prefer to keep using if only a modern browser was available). Netscape doesn't work on most web sites anymore. Is there someplace I could ftp or email the log file?
If you want to mail it to me, I can put it up temporarily. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
