[freeBSD] startx
hi all. i got a problem with the x windows server:
when i launch "startx" it doesn't work because of an error occurred with /dev/io i've set up everything with xf86config but it still doesn't work thanks everyone for help :) |
Ok first try this as root.
# XFree86 -configure # cp XF86Config.new /etc/X11/XF86Config Then become your normal user and try to 'startx' again. If this does not work post your full error message. Meaning everything... |
i managed to solve the isuue by reinstalling all :D
thanx however.. ah.. just to don't look as a spammer, can you answer here to another question? :) when i try to install, e.g. OpenOffice i get this: Can't find program 'Delete' in fact i noticed that i only have a source-code named delete.h is the code of that program? and how can i compile it (is there any C compiler with freeBSD .50 CD?) thanks :) :) |

Heh well that is what we are here for ;) Showing you how simple FreeBSD actually is :)
|
i noticed freebsd is very easy for newbies.. the installation took about 30 mins :)
but i also noticed some incompatibility, e.g. i can't use my USB dsl modem... or my sound card... and i still don't know why. a friend told me that, but suse or red hat, aother linux distros doesn't support anything that isn't COM1, COM2 or LPT ... :-\ bye and thanks |
for the sound card look here
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO...und-setup.html it's fairly straight forward, just follow step by step, shouldn't be a problem. good luck. |
There are also some good tutorials here:

Post the errors. You might have a checksum error or something else.
Unless you cant access the internet at all it will not be your modems fault. |
i am using VMware and its not my modems fault
but when i do sysinstall and install packages there it does pkg_add also and it works there |
