I'm installing FreeBSD 4.2 on a Toshiba 1555CDS, a laptop which has given me a few problems but which has faithfully run FreeBSD 4.0, and X11R6 (albeit, at a lower resolution than I'd like to see) for the better part of a year, back and forth across the country, a few times now. I've gotten past the basic installation and am now working on X11R6 configuration. When I ran XF86Setup, I got the following error: XF86Setup: KDENABIO failed XF86Setup: Cannot open video I did some irresponsible fiddling around, first; just to see if I could hotwire it, I copied my old /etc/XF86Config into place from the pre-upgrade backup, created the soft link /usr/X11R6/bin/X, and tried 'startx'. Same message (plus a bunch of others :-). Then I tried more rigorous approaches to problem resolution; including # cd /dev # ./MAKEDEV all # reboot ... as well as examining the kernel configuration file, line by line, and rebuilding it ... and also, using the command-line utility, 'xf86config', using values gleaned from old FreeBSD 4.0 notes, Toshiba hardware manuals, and my old /etc/XF86Config. No success. So I tried SuperProbe, and got the same !@#$ message: SuperProbe: KDENABIO failed SuperProbe: Cannot open video ... and I get the same message when I invoke 'SuperProbe' with the '-verbose' option. I already have my suspicions about the CDROM I bought at CompUSA; the boot images didn't boot and I had to download the working images from ftp.freebsd.org. Does 'KDENABIO' imply that KDE-specific dependencies have been built into X11R6? -- richard -- Richard A.
