Re: Xorg 7.5, XFCE4 and radeon

Using the VESA driver I can get 1280x1024 and start xfce4 all the time, using the radeon, ati or radeonhd, 1600x1200 is washed out. All of this was working fine before the Xorg update. I can supply more information if needed. [snip] There is at least one PR filed against this. A quick work around is to delete 'xfce4-session' from your PC and then start Xfce4. It should start correctly although you will be missing the services supplied by the 'session' add-on, which is required I believe by the xfce meta port. At least you can get Xfce4 up and running. I cannot believe that this update was vetted thoroughly, however, it is a little to late to bitch about it now. These sort of problems are becoming all to common place lately, IMHO. -- Jerry freebsd.u...@seibercom.net Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.

Feeling your frustration here as well. This latest update has caused a lot of us a great deal of problems: I have no X at all at the moment because of problems with the Intel driver. :-( ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

This gives me 1600x1200 @ 24bpp, however after a minute, or a few apps started, Xorg takes up 100% CPU and locks up the box. With the old config file, I still get the washed out look at 1600x1200. Oddly, if I only set 1280x1024 or lower, it wants to default to 1600x1200.
