>=A0 =A0=A0=A0>=A0 =A0 =A0=A0=A0What modules did you install? It looks like=
 you may not have
>=A0 =A0=A0=A0installed
>=A0 =A0=A0=A0any. You need at least a driver for your graphics card
>=A0 =A0=A0=A0(xf86-video-r128)
>=A0 =A0=A0=A0and the keyboard and mouse drivers.
>=A0 =A0=A0=A0-Nathan

>=A0 =A0=A0=A0I've installed, deinstalled, and reinstalled the r128 driver.
>=A0 =A0=A0=A0Mouse works because I can see the pointer in the console. Key=

>=A0 =A0=A0=A0works.

>=A0 =A0=A0=A0Here is my xorg.conf
>=A0 =A0=A0=A0http://slexy.org/view/s2RSRtoWae=A0 submitted as moleque.

>=A0 =A0=A0=A0Is the fbdev required for the G series?

FBdev is something that exists only on Linux, and is both unnecessary and c=
annot be used on FreeBSD.

You do need to install the X11 keyboard and mouse drivers to interface with=
 the FreeBSD console drivers, and you should check that the sysctl hw.ofwfb=
.relax_mmap is 1. Your xorg.conf looks basically identical to mine. Did you=
 change anything since the last X server log you sent out?
-Nathan

I tried using ati as the driver then switched it back to r128. I reinstalle=
d r128. Pkg_info |grep xf86 lists the keyboard and mouse drivers as already=
 installed.=20
When I type dmesg|grep pci it lists the address for the card as a vgapci.
Which log message or system file do you need me to send?
