Re: ATI Radeon 9600xt (256MB DDR) on FreeBSD 6.2 ; Not solved

2007-05-14 Thread dharam paul
Thanks for the reply, Sir.
After your advise, I have tried VESA driver too. I am
able to get to the graphical mode. Therein, in
graphical mode, I got three four windows , three white
in color and were terminal screens, wherein I could
not type any thing. And the fourth window was a clock.

I am near to the target?

I also tried as per instructions given in the
handbook. By following this method too, I get same
four widows.

Regards

 have you tried configuring xorg with the VESA
 driver.  Most cards these days 
 are VESA compliant at the very least.

What's not solved?  Did something not work?  What have you tried?  What are 
the error messages?

If what you're seeing is a graphical display with xterm windows and a clock, 
it seems to me like it's working exactly the way it's supposed to.  It just 
sounds like you didn't finish following along in chapter 5 of the handbook 
where it explains that you'll want to install a windows manager you can use.

As you'll see in the handbook (still chapter 5), the more popular options are 
KDE and Gnome,  but there are lots of others you'll find in your ports tree.  
You can learn about the ports tree in the handbook.  And you'll probably want 
a display manager too...  Yep, the handbook.

It's really very well written.  

HTH,

WizLayer
