Always build from source. Except that I switched from ports to packages awhile back because I was having so many problems building ports, and packages was, until now, working much better. I'm not even sure if I need xf86-video-fbdev or not? I was just trying to make Xorg happy. A few lines grepped from dmesg: <VGA-compatible display> port 0xac00-0xacff mem 0xfa000000-0xfaffffff,0xfdfff000-0xfdffffff irq 19 at device 5.0 on pci1 sc0: VGA <16 virtual consoles, flags=0x100> <Generic ISA VGA> at port 0x3c0-0x3df iomem 0xa0000-0xbffff on isa0 <Keyboard controller (i8042)> port 0x60,0x64 irq 1 on acpi0 <AT Keyboard> irq 1 on atkbdc0 kbd0 at atkbd0 <PS/2 Mouse> irq 12 on atkbdc0 psm0: model Generic PS/2 mouse, device ID 0 # Xorg -configure -logverbose 100 (--) PCI:*(0:1:5:0) 1002:4752:1002:8008 ATI Technologies Inc Rage XL rev 39, Mem @ 0xfa000000/16777216, 0xfdfff000/4096, I/O @ 0x0000ac00/256, BIOS @ 0x????????/65536 [ ... ] List of video drivers: ati radeon r128 (II) LoadModule: "ati" (II) Loading /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/ati_drv.so (II) Module ati: vendor="X.Org Foundation" compiled for 1.7.7, module version = 6.14.1 Module class: X.Org Video Driver ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 6.0 (II) LoadModule: "radeon" (II) Loading /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/radeon_drv.so (II) Module radeon: vendor="X.Org Foundation" compiled for 1.7.7, module version = 6.14.1 Module class: X.Org Video Driver ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 6.0 (II) LoadModule: "r128" (II) Loading /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/r128_drv.so (II) Module r128: vendor="X.Org Foundation" compiled for 1.7.7, module version = 6.8.1 Module class: X.Org Video Driver ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 6.0 (II) Primary Device is: PCI 01@00:05:0 No devices to configure.

Is 9:29PM 0:00.00 /usr/local/bin/dbus-daemon --system ps doesn't find a hald running? I have no clue how to reconfigure HAL or disable AutoAddDevices. Can't I just tell Xorg to use sc0 kbd0 and psm0 ? The man pages don't mention how to do this. I'm also not sure which driver it should be using. The r128 man page doesn't explicitly list the RAGE XL. Xorg without -configure doesn't mention r128. _______________________________________________ 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"
