I use the default install and I don't know what driver to get or how to
build it.. but surely if you have the wrong drivers X will not start rather
than not stop?
X will start, but odd things will happen (such as your mouse not
working, distorted resolutions, etc).
Installing the Xorg
Kevin,
As the problem only occurs after I exit X the log file isn't very helpful as
to what happens after. The last line is
(II) Mouse0: SetupAuto: protocol is SysMouse
However it seems to be cycling through various resolution modes before
starting, but no errors/warnings except for these lines
In case this helps anybody, I fixed the 2 min startup by adding my machine's
hostname to /etc/hosts, and the crash problem is fixed by installing the
latest xf86-video-savage port. I wonder why the sysinstall doesnt know how
to figure this out when installing and build the prot for me?
Well
Hi,
I installed 7.0 from the CD with X. Now this is the first time I ever used
FreeBSD or X, I know a bit from linux but I usually use command line only.
So when the system finished installing I logged in and typed startx. First
time it took over 2 mins (is this normal) but eventually worked, and
No, a 2 minute startup of Xorg is not normal.
What kind of video card? Do you have the proper drivers for your
video card installed? I've noticed on several flavors of Linux with
my particular card (nVidia Geforce 8600 or something) that if I do not
have the correct nVidia drivers, exiting X
I should note on my last message, that I specified Linux because some
don't install the proper drivers by default. With FreeBSD + Xserver
on this box, it was always a habit for me to compile the drivers -- so
I never noticed if I would experience this undesired behavior in *BSD.
