Hello,
Ok here is one for ya. I finally got bsd installed but when it went to
startx I got this set of error mssgs:
begin error mssg
_______________________________________________________________
(--)svga yadda yadda
(--)svga " "
(--)svga " "
(--)svga chipset :ati
(**)svga videoram :8192k
(--)svga using 8bpp , depth 8, color weight:666
(--)svga maximum allowed dot clock: 230.000mhz
(--)svga there is no mode definition named "604 x 800"
(--)svga removing mode "640 x 800" from list of valid modes
(--)svga there is no mode definition named ""320 x 240"
fatal server error:
No valid modes found
X connection to : 0.0 broken (explicit kill or sever shutdown)
______________________________________________________________
end error mssg
I went into the xconfig , full graphical mode and into monitors and set
600x 600 (which runs under linux and win98) and color depth to 32 (
which also runs under both) and when pressing done it starts to go to X
but then freezes system. So I use the alt-ctrl-backspace then go back to
xconfig and set default and I get the error mssg up top.
My monitor is a little older but has no problem running svga 800x 600
and higher anywhere else. My graphics card is :RageIIc agp, ati
tech-enhanced,mach 64gt, ver 5.30-cd5
What do you suggest I do to get X working?
Also I had to copy install cd to c\freebsd and install from dos because
unix also doesnt recognize my atapi cd? So how can I configure after Im
up and running so I can install packages and kde desktop?
Thanks for your help!
Terry
