I am trying to get X up and running on a Dell Latitude C600 running
FreeBSD 4.7 as part of a school project. I can't seem to get X 3.X to
recognize my video card (an ATI Mobility 3), and the best I can seem to
get is a 300x200 window in the middle of my screen, so I thought I would
install X-4 and hope for the best.
Unfortunately, the install for X-4 keeps failing, saying that things are
already defined, etc (I have included a copy of the "make install" output
for your perusal and edification). I thought that the problem might just
be a previously installed X 3, and so tried to deinstall it first, but it
failed as well.
Any advice on how to either get the server up and running with 3.x OR on
how to get X-4 properly installed (I suspect it would help) would be
greatly appreciated. I have been banging my head against this for over a
week, and have had no luck with the newbie list over at XFree86.org. I
will be more than happy to send any additional information on request.
Gracias
Ian
