Undefined Screen " XFree86" reference by serverLayout "XFree86 Configured"
 

Hi,

I have a problem with my Xserver.
Trying to lunch it but I get the following error message:

"Undefined Screen " XFree86" reference by serverLayout "XFree86 Configured"

What does it mean and what can I do to fix it .

THanks,

You need to alter your XF86Config. What you need to do is look what the identifier is in your screen section

Say it looks like the above change the serverlayout to match it like

I've commented the line out with a hash, You can simply edit or delete it if you prefer.

Hi,

Now the error message I get is:

" xf86Openserial: NO Device specified.
"Mouse: cannot open input Device
PreInit failed for input device "Mouse"

My mouse "InputDevice" section has the following configuration.

Section "InputDevice"
#Identifier and Driver

"Identifier " Mouse"
"Driver " mouse"


Some tell where is the mistake.

Thanks,

I'm sorry but I'm reaching the limits of my knowledge with *BSD, but I think what's missing is the device line, which will be something like:

Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"

But the device is almost defintaley not /dev/input/mice, you'll need to look at your distro's docs for that.

Note: This is for a wheel mouse... fix the last line for the for your actual mouse.

Great Frob23,

Now I'm done.

In case I want Freebsd to automatically start in graphical mode what should I do ?

Thanks,

Edit /etc/ttys

Change this line:
to this:

Note: make sure any user you want to log in through that has a valid ~/.xsession -- as ~/.xinitrc will not work. And make sure that ~/.xsession is executable.
