X not starting on FreeBSD 6.1 release
I've just installed FreeBSD to sit alongside my Linux distribution.
So far as I can tell, everything works except X. If i say 'startx', my monitor goes very dark, and gets two screenfulls of text. I've picked out the error messages: Code:
(EE) Unable to open/locate config file http://aviswebsite.co.uk/stuff/Xorg.0.log Any ideas? I've tried this both as root and normal user, to the same effect. FWIW, my graphics card is an NVidia GForce 7600 from BFG. Though X is perfectly happy under Linux, so i'm not sure it's a hardware problem. Thank you! |
If you are using an nvidia card, then change the video driver from fbdev to "nv". You can also install the official nvidia drivers using ports
Code:
#cd /usr/ports/x11/nvidia-driver/ && make install clean |
did you install a desktop enviorment? if not try that then go into your /etc/ttys and edit the line tty8 to make the option on instead of off. that will make xdm start on boot. of if you prefer gdm or kdm chance the directory to /usr/local/bin/*dm where * is k or g depending on if you installed gnomer of kde.
