Alright, so I recently migrated to FreeBSD and had some trouble
configuring the network. I got that problem fixed for the most part now as
the internet works, except when I go into X. About a minute after I get into
X, my internet stops working, and I have to restart the whole computer to
get it back up again. I have absolutely no clue as to what the problem might
be, or how to solve it. Any suggestions?
   

Suggestions? Here you go. Perhaps tell us more about your network
configuration, tell us how does "the internet" stops working (can you ping
anyone on LAN? what about external interface?), also tell us about your X
configuration (eg. which environment / WM do you use), place .xinit and
/var/log/XFree86.log.0 somewhere on the web, so we could see it.
 

Also a dmseg and a copy of rc.conf might help.  ifconfig will show what 
is going on with your network card.  You should never have to restart 
your whole computer, sounds like it could be a config, or more likely a 
hardware problem.

Xfree86 help required since upgrade.

2003-03-28 Thread Philip Payne
Hi,

I recently upgraded Xfree4 via portupgrade (portupgrade -a) and I now have a
problem. It appears X will only work in 8-bit mode. Before, my XF86Config
specified the default bit depth as 24 and X was fine. Now X fails to start
at anything over 8-bit... I mean, it starts... it just hangs after a lot of
disk activity. 

Briefly, I'm running FreeBSD 4.X-Stable on a PC with an nvidia card and the
nvidia driver from /usr/ports/x11/nvidia-driver and the latest version of
Xfree4 from ports. I appreciate the nvidia driver is beta and could be the
root cause of this problem but I've been using that driver for some time
with no problems so far.

I'm definitely no X-pert. I can work my way through an XF86Config file and X
error log but that's about it. Nothing I can immediately identify in
/var/log/Xfree86.0.log to cause the problem (that's not to say there isn't
something in there).

My question is:
a) Is there anyone out there willing to help me resolve this?
b) What information (hardware, config files) do you need to help me out?

Let me know, by reply individually if you don't want to spam the list and
I'll send everything relevant in one go.

Thanks a lot,
Phil.
