Another idea not yet mentioned is to create two wrapper scripts like so: $ cat /usr/local/bin/loadsound #!/bin/sh kldload whatever.ko $ cat /usr/local/bin/unloadsound #!/bin/sh kldunload whatever.ko and the install sudo and configure it to give your user the ability to run those two commands without entering your password. Finally, add "sudo loadsound" and "sudo unloadsound" to your startup and exit scripts. -- Kirk Strauser pgpWUVdbZQYd0.pgp Description: PGP signature

The startup script is /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xsetup_0. You may also want to have a look at /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xsession. This latter file will call up ~/.xsession, which is where we normally put commands at the beginning of an X session called up through xdm. What I do in that file is to call nvidia-settings and display a background image. I guess ~/.xsession is the right place to put a kldload - this file may be simply a symlink to .xinitrc (if the setup you want is in this file). >> why do you need such thing? > > I want to load sound support only when in a desktop environment, and > auto-disable it when moving back to a console.

Or maybe you could use GiveConsole and TakeConsole (in the same directory) to accomplish these tasks. I hope more expert users will chime in with more information about the difference between these various command files. Have a look at "man xdm" as well as /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/xdm-config. For some reason, not many users appear to use xdm. The majority apparently prefer kdm or gdm or just .xinitrc.

The issue is with your refresh rates on one of the
monitors is out

Thanks for the reply.
I checked out what refresh rates they're using in Windows, and both
monitors are set to 60. The finicky monitor apparently can run
at 60,
70, or 72.
I set the VertRefresh to 60, start up Xorg, and now I'm not getting
the error, but it's really flickery. Really, it's more like a bunch
of lines are scrolling down very quickly, it's not flicker, so
something definitely isn't right. If I set the VertRefresh to a
range, like 60-72, I still get that Out of Range error. I haven't
been able to find out exactly what refresh rates to use, because
these
are LCDs and the refresh rates given in ms, not Hertz. Not really
sure what that means.
Thanks for the reply, seems like I'm getting closer...I'd appreciate
any more help you can give me.

That's not the actual refresh range for the monitor, it's

What you want to do is search for "{maker} {model} horizontal

What you want to do is search for "{maker} {model} horizontal
refresh" in google; the pages which come up are the ones you want to
refer to for your xorg.conf configuration.
If the maker was tremendously foresighted, the information you need
may appear in the small print on the back or bottom of the monitor
itself.
If not, you may find it handy to inscribe the H and V rate ranges
there with a Sharpie marker once you find it. I've been through this
particular annoyance a couple of times now, that's now my standard
practice upon taking a new monitor out of the shipping carton.
Finding the information on the web (or even in the product manual)
is not always easy, and the xorg automated config tools can't always
guess right.

I checked out what refresh rates they're using in Windows, and both monitors are set to 60. The finicky monitor apparently can run at 60, 70, or 72. I set the VertRefresh to 60, start up Xorg, and now I'm not getting the error, but it's really flickery. Really, it's more like a bunch of lines are scrolling down very quickly, it's not flicker, so something definitely isn't right. If I set the VertRefresh to a range, like 60-72, I still get that Out of Range error. I haven't been able to find out exactly what refresh rates to use, because these are LCDs and the refresh rates given in ms, not Hertz. Not really sure what that means. Thanks for the reply, seems like I'm getting closer...I'd appreciate any more help you can give me. Pat ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http

"Out of range" starting Xorg on dual display
I've got a dual display setup, and it had been working fine once I finally got the config done.

You can select your default window manager/desktop environment by configuring ~/.xinitrc. To start KDE, put 'exec startkde' in your ~/.xinitrc file. Execute 'man startx' for more information. If you want the computer to boot to a GUI, you'll have to configure xdm, kdm or gdm. You can find more information about these in the handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-xdm.html Best of luck, Andrew Gould ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Re: starting xorg
Hello, You need to generate an xorg.conf as described in the handbook, then move it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf You can then type startx from the command line If you want to use a desktop, again the handbook contains instructions. See sections5.4.2 and the command Xorg -configure. Glenn.
