Dear Sir: I have a problem with FreeBSD 4.2 RELEASE. I have tryed all methods that I can do included in many readings and help docs within this release. I still cannot solve these problems. So I have to ask for your help. This FreeBSD 4.2 RELEASE was downloaded from your web. It was a whole set, completely downloaded. And I install it with no problem. The only problem is that I cannot start X window system. I work well in the character mode. When I use sysinatall to setup XF86 Server it does not display any error. But at one point that I suspect is, it displays "Press Enter to enter into graphics mode. This may take a while.". But from that it does not enter into graphics mode, just returns back to the previous setupmenu screen. I do not know whether it is wrong or right. ============================================================= At the shell face I have some of the error messages as following: #startx .... .... (to many line I cannot catch up) Fatal server error: xf86OpenConsole: KDENABIO failed(Operation not permitted) X connection to : 0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown) #twm twm: unable to open display"" #SuperProble SuperProbe: KDENABIO failed SuperProbe: Cannot open video #uname -a FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE #0: Mon Nov 20 13:02:55 GMT 2000 jkh@bento.FreeBSD.org:/usr/src/sys/compile/GENERIC i386. ================================================================= My computer is P-III 866 standard PC. Display card is NVIDIA RIVA TNT2/M64A chipset. So, Could you please give me some help? I would be very very thankful. Regards. Steven Shen. 19:08 2001-08-17 _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
