Re: Xorg - how can I configure this thing??
Hello. 6. Make sure the following 2 lines are in /etc/rc.conf: hald_enable=YES dbus_enable=YES That's not necessary if you (re)configure X server without HAL. Just pointing, since lots of people recommends anybody with input problems to add those lines. It's still possible to run X server without HAL, even the newest one. -best regards, Jakub Lach -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Xorg---how-can-I-configure-this-thing---tp24417470p24428745.html Sent from the freebsd-questions mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ 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

Get to a terminal (ctl-alt-F2 should get you there). 2. Log in as root. 3. Execute:'Xorg -config' This command should probe your hardware and create a sample xorg.conf file (xorg.conf.new, I think) in root's home directory. 4. Using your favorite console-based editor, edit the new xorg.conf.new file. In the ServerLayout section, add the following: Option AllowEmptyInputfalse 5. Save the xorg.conf.new file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf 6. Make sure the following 2 lines are in /etc/rc.conf: hald_enable=YES dbus_enable=YES 7. Reboot the computer and test X.

It's best to pick one or the other. The Handbook uses the hal version, making step 4 is unnecessary. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA ___ 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

Re: Xorg - how can I configure this thing??
Glen, Daniel, Andrew, Warren, thanks a ton - will try your tricks carefully and try not to wreck the installation. Is quite a science, the 'easy automatic configuration'. I let you know tomorrow how it worked out Cheers herb langhans -- *** Herbert Langhans, Warschau *** Sprachtraining Langhans *** http://www.langhans.com.pl *** herbert at langhans.com.pl *** NIP 526-229-61-51 *** Regon 014911759 *** Tel. 603 341 441 ___ 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
