RE: X doesn't work
OK, got the new NVIDIA driver mentioned in the UPDATE at the beginning of the article . Untared, ungzipped--no problem Run make setup per the readme included with the driver, get the following error: /usr/share/mk/bsd.kmod.mk, line 10 cannot find kernal tree ERROR CODE 1 When I try to follow the manual instructions in the article I understand what port I want to update but none of the other information CVsup requires. In addition the non GUI csvup does appears to be a deadlink. Thanks for your continued patience and help.

ctrl-alt backspace does work, so X is not really locked. The screen just has junk. Since Dell provides no information about the display, any ideas on how to determine the correct rates?

However, I've never seen a lockup because of this. There may be other problems, too. Are you sure it locked up? Have you tried ctrl+alt+backspace?

X doesn't work
Hi List, Where should I start on troubleshooting this? I installed FreeBSD and included X and Gnome 2 environment. I selected the lowest resolution (VGA) to see if it would work (I have had trouble getting X to work with some flavors of Linux on this machine). When I run startx, I get garbage on the screen and the computer locks up. Same problem with other resolutions. I have a Dell Inspiron 8100. It uses the nvida GeForce2 GO. Dell will provide no other technical specifications. In windows I use 1600x1200 and 32-bit colcor. What other information do you all need?

X doesn't work
Hi List, Thanks again to everyone for helping with my wireless problem. Now, I installed FreeBSD and included X and Gnome 2 environment. I selected the lowest resolution (VGA) to see if it would work (I have had trouble getting X to work with some flavors of Linux on this machine). When I run startx, I get garbage on the screen and the computer locks up. I have a Dell Inspiron 8100. It uses the nvida GeForce2 GO. In windows I use 1600x1200 and 32-bit colcor. What other information do you all need?
