Allthough X is not an urgent topic to me at the moment (because I'm still running "old" X without all the HAL and DBUS magic), I always interestedly read such threads in order to keep up to date. On my testing system I just had the same problem. XFCE 4 started, but mouse didn't move, no keyboard input. And starting X (startx command) lasts 20 seconds, that's annoying. :-(

The packages of X.org seem to require DBUS and HAL. I am currently running a testing environment with 8.0-RC1 and everything from packages (1,7 GHz AMD with 512 MB RAM, so no compiling joy). > Mouse and keyboard works without it too. I just re-read the chapters on X in the handbook. Setting a specific keyboard language (german in my case) now involves messing with XML in the HAL configuration. I'm just keen to know where I now have to set my mouse in order to work properly. It's a three-button mouse from Sun. In the past, all X settings (resolution, mouse, keyboard, fonts etc.) could be controlled via one centralized file. Sadly, this seems to be scattered among many subsystems now... Another question, especially when running without a xorg.conf file: Where is the functionality of Option "DontZap" "false" represented? Or is it possible to run X with a partial xorg.conf file? > This solved all such problems on my laptop. I hope it will solve them for me, too, when I revive my laptop. Seems that I have to do much compiling, bit I will do that on a different machine (laptop is AMD 500 MHt with 256 MB RAM). -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
