no graphical display
 

hi frnds,

I installed FreeBsd 5.2.1 but i got text mode only
i install all packages like Xserver..etc
but i got only textmode.
i use the command "startx" but no way, got some Xfree86 errror display
How can i configure the Xfree86
i know there is a way to configure that file,if in redhat .Is in FBD any way to configure? PLZ help me.......

That doesn't help much. Please post the error....

Try "xorgconfig" for xorg or "xfree86config" if you are using XFree86

X -configure
mv ~/XF86Config.new /etc/X11/XF86Config
startx

Or use sysinstall command and visit post install > configure server (X86) that will also do. If your card is not supported try to setup VESA

I have personally never had sysinstall's X config work, which is why I posted what I did.

Good pointer though, and I guess "great!" if it works.

Yah some time VESA do a trick

I've never used VESA either, I just don't bother to run sysinstall through the X setup section and once it's installed I do the X -configure thing.

Sysinstall's pretty fault tolerant, but it's X setup section just bites. I know X -configure works. :p
