It looks like you're trying to have XFree86 generate a clean XF86Config for you. If that's the case, copy it to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11. While /etc/X11 exists on FreeBSD, it's not the preferred location. I don't know if X will even look there for it. In order to get any helpful advice, you'll have to provide more information. Give us the entire contents of your XF86Config (and triple-check that its the one that XFree86 is using!) as well as the full output of your XFree86 log which you should find at /var/log/XFree86.0.log.

Don`t know what to do... :))
I installed XFree86, then i run XFree86 -configure, then i run XFree86 -xf86config XF86Config.new. Everything is ok. Than i cp XF86Config.new to /etc/X11/XF86Config (i tried to copy and to /usr/X11R6/etc/X11/XF86Config but there is no directory X11). then, when i run startx i get the next error: screen not found... I know i can do everythiing with xf86cfg but i don`t understand why the first way has problems (may be i have problems : ). Thank You! Hi; Please wrap your lines at < 80 characters. It is not clear. Did you create the file /etc/X11/XF86Config? If there is no /etc/X11 directory, you can create it with: mkdir /etc/X11 Is it possible there is another XF86Config floating around out there that you are actually using? Try looking at /var/log/XFree86.0.log Mine says: XFree86 Version 4.3.0 Release Date: 27 February 2003 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 6.6 Build Operating System: FreeBSD 4.9 i386 [ELF] Build Date: 15 October 2003 Before reporting problems, check http://www.XFree86.Org/ to make sure that you have the latest version.

Also, have you installed the /usr/ports/x11/wrapper port yet? You will need that to startx as a regular user.

I know i can do everythiing with xf86cfg but i don`t understand why the first way has problems (may be i have problems : ). Thank You! Do you have a 'screen' section in your /etc/X11/XF86Config file? If you do, does it have screen entries? IIRC, you'll need at least one section with valid depth, modes, and virtual entries. (Note: I'm not an expert, and don't play one on TV). Here's the "screen" section from my XF86Config: * Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Card0" Monitor"Monitor0" DefaultDepth 16 SubSection "Display" Depth 1 EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 4 EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 8 EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 15 EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "1024x768" Virtual 1024 768 EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1024x768" Virtual 1024 768 EndSubSection EndSection *** HTH, Kevin Kinsey DaleCo, S.P. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
