(Was: X Error) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi again all... Well, I found the problem - apparently X can't be run if you have kern.securelevel set above 0 (ie: to 1). I'm assuming this is normal, but is there a way around it for using X on the console, or no? Thanks agian!!! --John Papalia ******************** Hey all.... I started getting this error when executing "startx" since I rebuilt the world (about 1.5-2 wks ago), and since installing KDE. I never actually went to use KDE - I uninstalled it before trying to use it. I searched the mailing archives on both freebsd.org and xfree.org, coming up with only one possible answer, resulting in making sure that /etc/fbtab was set up with a line for /dev/ttyv0. That change didn't help. Error is as follows.... Thanks!!!! --John papalia XFree86 Version 3.3.5 / X Window System (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6300) Release Date: August 23 1999 Operating System: FreeBSD 3.3-RC i386 [ELF] Configured drivers: Mach64: accelerated server for ATI Mach64 graphics adaptors (Patchlevel 0) Using syscons driver with X support (version 2.0) (using VT number 10) XF86Config: /etc/XF86Config (**) FontPath set to "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/m isc/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dp i/:u nscaled,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/,/us r/X1 1R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/" Fatal server error: xf86OpenConsole: KDENABIO failed (Operation not permitted) When reporting a problem related to a server crash, please send the full server output, not just the last messages X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).
