Hi! In DragonFly BSD and FreeBSD the xorg.conf file I was testing on, was in /root, after the Xorg -configure command.
Yesterday I tried again with PC-BSD 7.1.1 and looking with more detail I look that the installer create a Xorg.core file that filled the RAM disk and then I can´t edit xorg.conf. After erasing the core file, I tuned the xorg.conf to use "sis" driver and X worked perfectly. Then I could run X again in PC-BSD. Maybe I retry installing DragonFly BSD using this xorg.conf file later. Thanks! ________________________________________ De: Joe Talbott [[email protected]] Enviado el: miércoles, 08 de diciembre de 2010 07:25 Para: Garcia Rojas, Guillermo (MABE,EXTERNO) CC: [email protected] Asunto: Re: Issue with X On Wed, Dec 08, 2010 at 01:44:19AM -0600, Garcia Rojas, Guillermo (MABE,EXTERNO) wrote: > Hi there, > > A few days ago I installed DragonFly BSD 2.8.2-RELEASE and all went very > well, but when I tried to configure X the problems came. > > I have a SiS 630 integrated video card, and was running very well since > DragonFly BSD 1.2, I was using basically the same xorg.conf file since then > to DragonFly 2.6.
