Hi Ian, Hi list, thanks for your configuration. No problem with the delay. :) I removed your xorg.conf and your xorg.0.log, and added freebsd-questions to CC again. I tried your xorg.conf, but I'm afraid that I had no luck with it. It works for me as my old config did, but the error is still the same: As soon as the X server is died during the X session is displayed the screen wents black and remains black. If I switch to a text console before, and kill X (for example by hitting CTRL+C on the console I did a startx on), X is killed and everything is fine. This is why I think that X somehow fails to quit graphics mode correctly, leaving the graphics chip in an unusable state. Re-Initialising it to graphics by typing startx blindly works, thou. BTW: I updated the BIOS and "Embedded System Controller" (or whatever it is called) to the most recent version. Didn't change anything... I think I'll have a look at the BIOS now, maybe I have a setting or two that don't work well with FreeBSD or X. Thanks for your time and help anyway. :) Christian On 16/11/06, Ian Smith <smithi@nimnet.asn.au> wrote: > Hi Christian, > > sorry, slow, blame the 19 hour time difference :) > > attached xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log (offlist) > > Haven't had time to do diffs with yours yet, busy here, and my xorg.conf > may have conservative values, and I think you have an extra module or > two in yours, but you could see if anything in here works for you. > > As to the sysctls, I hope you picked up my typo ('-' instead of '=') in > one line ..
