FreeBSD 7.1, Xorg 7.4, Nvidia
I upgrade to Xorg 7.4 yesterday, and now I can't seem to start gnome. For the life of me, I can't figure out what is going on. startx and X both start fine... (that is how I am able to type this email). But when starting the machine, my screen just flashes a few times and returns to the console. Looking at Xorg.0.log I see the same error a few others are getting... dlopen: /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules//libwfb.so: Undefined symbol miZeroLineScreenIndex (EE) Failed to load /usr/local/lib/modules//libfw.so (EE) Failed to load module wfb (loader failed 7) (EE) NVIDIA(0): Need libwfb but wfbScreenInit not found I am also not able to use Vesa or NV (both options that have worked in the past when having issues with the Nvidia driver). I have read updating, and none of the advice has helped. I have even tried the 180.22 driver. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to get Gnome/GDM working again? I don't care if I have 3d, as long as I have a usuable system until drivers or issues are resolved. ___ 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

I had the exact same issue. I played around so much I don't know /exactly/ what helped but the following might: 1) restart hald, devd, the computer 2) use xf86-video-nv 3) run X -configure again 4) recompile xorg-server 5) These same steps in a different order. Someone mentioned that I installed xorg after nvidia-driver which messed up some symlink or another.

Xorg 7.3, nvidia 8600, FreeBSD 7.x
Hi, $portupgrade -R xorg grep Composite /etc/X11/xorg.conf Option Composite false alias startx alias startx='startx -- -ignoreABI' AFAIK my nvidia driver was not updated during this process; however, I'm using dual monitors with this card. grep Xineram /etc/X11/xorg.conf Option Xinerama true If I move the mouse to from Screen0 to Screen1, it can't leave the screen again.
