I have FreeBSD 7.2 built after the xorg-7.4_2 package I installed. Hardware is
an IBM thinkpad T42p. I am trying to figure out if I have hardware or software
issues. I built FreeBSD and installed Xorg 12/30/09. I am choosing not to use
hal so:
---- xorg.conf -------
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "X.org Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
#Option "DontZap" "off"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "false"
---- rc.conf -------
#hald_enable="YES"
#dbus_enable="YES"
For the first month, this all worked. with xorg starting ok (10-15 secs) or
slowly (>60 secs). Starting in Feburary, Xorg would hang locking the keyboard or
take a complete unpredictable time to start.
FreeBSD was built w/o IPV6 support which is the only possible software issue I
can think of (Packet sniffing suggested an IPV6 call is made during xdm start
up).
If I do not start xdm, I can find nothing that does not work. When xdm starts
everything works until the next power on. On a recent trip I left the system up
for 2+ months, using it as my only workstation. I am stumped, flummoxed, and
otherwise at a loss :)
