Man, do I miss the VGA XF86Setup utility, but, now, I'm not sure even it would help. I built XFree86 from ports, and I assumed --I'm quite sure-- it is the 3.x flavor, not 4.x. I was surprised (still am) that the GUI config is not part of the distribution --I thought the GUI-less config was a feature of 4.x. Anyway, X is still kicking my butt. Relevant hardware details are: Dell Inspiron C600 laptop FreeBSD 4.5-STABLE (built from sources, fresh, after an initial minimimal install from the 4.4 CD-ROM --that install didn't include srcs or X or anything beyond the basic binaries, I installed cvsup from the packages, supped all the sources, and did a make buildworld, make buildkernel KERNCONF=SARPEDON, make installkernel=SARPEDON, reboot, make installworld, mergemaster, reboot --all without a hitch). I then built KDE2 from ports (including the X server) --no errors. 256Mb RAM 30 Gig hard drive (12 Gig FreeBSD 16 Gig Win 2k --the rest in the "overhead" bitbucket, I assume) 1 GigHz PIII processor ATI Mobility 128 graphics accelerator The results of: #10 script startx.script startx are attached. I've tried every server I've installed (I installed them all except the PC98 variants). I've tried as many "mode" combinations as I can think of --or stand to think of. The "suggested" server for the ATI Mobility card, the Mach64, locks up the machine (Cntrl-alt-Delete land) tighter than a crabs butt, and that is waterproof. Any help anyone might have would be most... ummmm... helpful TIA Tim Kellers CPE/NJIT --0-55741848-1012540069=:34511 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII; name="startx.script"
