It seems my X server is not initializing it self properly, and I can't figure out what the problem is. The main symptom is that when X starts up, the back ground is black, not grey. This progresses into GNOME, where I suspect that the background is grey, it is black. This makes GNOME unusable. This all started when I compiled QT2 libraries from user/ports. After screwing with the configuration, I just formatted and started over. So I didn't install KDE2, and went with GNOME. The problem never went away. I have a Matrox G200 with 8 megs of ram sitting in a PCI slot on an i810 motherboard. I have tried building X WITH_MATROX_GXX and with out. Anyway, here is my XF86Config and make.conf ------=_NextPart_001_0002_01C1B814.685D3480 Content-Type: text/html; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <html xmlns:o=3D"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" = xmlns:w=3D"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word" = xmlns=3D"http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40">;
