Hello
This FreeBSD newbie just installed FreeBSD 4.4 (determined to fulfill my New Years resolution to migrate away from M$ Windows (-:). I forwent XFree 3.3.6 during the install because it seemed it would not support my ATI Radeon VE card. I installed XFree 4.1.0_6 from the package on the installation CD, then ran XFree -configure per the instructions in the Free BSD Handbook, then ran XFree using the new configuration file, also per the instructions. Result: black, blank screen, but pressing Ctrl-Alt-Backspace killed it. The output to STDERR says, among other things, [big snip] (EE) RADEON(0): [dri] RADEONInitVisualConfigs failed (depth 8 not supported). Disabling DRI. [snip] Couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/, removing from list! Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/, removing from list! (==) RADEON(0): Write-combining range (0xa0000,0x10000) was already clear and that's it. The entire output is appended, fwiw. I'm also appended the config file that XFree created for me. Anyone have any ideas as to what I should try next? I've searched a fair amount and failed to find any troubleshooting guide, FAQ, etc that deals with this kind of thing.
