As Christian said, "VGA-1: EDID block 0 invalid." means that the kernel driver couldn't understand what the monitor reported about its supported modes. But do you use this VGA connector? > I ran > pkg info -a | grep "mesa" > and got nothing, also tried with "Mesa". Mesa is split in multiple ports.

Running a software as root isn't the responsability of X.Org here. This is the responsability of your window manager or desktop environment (ie. the one who allows you to start applications). If it doesn't provide a menu or something, you could start your application from a terminal. For example, from an uxterm: sudo myapplication sudo isn't installed by default but is availble from the ports. After installing it, you'll have to run "visudo" to configure who is allowed to do what. For instance, there's a commented line which says: %wheel ALL=3D(ALL) ALL If you uncomment it, it means that all members of the "wheel" group are allowed to run a program as root, after entering their password. You'll have to put yourself in the "wheel" group of course. After that, when you run "sudo myapplication" from uxterm, it'll ask for your password (not root's password) and start "myapplication" as root. > I think I need an xorg.conf X.Org is pretty good now at auto-configuring video cards and monitors. If you are not using hald for input devices (hald is enabled by default in x11-servers/xorg-server), then you need to setup your keymap in xorg.conf. Otherwise, you shouldn't need any xorg.conf. --=20 Jean-S=E9bastien P=E9dron --Ob0USdAb6gUclSbE6AA7B0xvhAJjTtEsB Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJTWOHhAAoJEDnpl2Gl/ZTMYeMP/3nqlWzcbOXZEfESsw//36GK i+w8pnmQb4hKFF5et06rXdGqqaASBWumsc9etbZ732OU+u4ENV8Ri4Y1Keo5h1N6 yl7Sf7dmxchSdJa5DQKOIZO0FAidSMIBYtTKC5jM1B5vd8D7FQWxYG1qPUuEEC4S gtCT4boyralBMZcE6BmT4MAixvA8ZUjDGD4uUn9OqS2dkuNYkJKp6ravue+ZPBqD tff1CWCrxWk0W+BCBplvNHfb7Bs6yg7TVoSPWOVovgrJfIkWPtQx6wDQeLgGq2G9 PnuBbMsAGRozmCIyexfxSy7UVXlPOxMhNvU8Il4qUFBKxaHvGHqyGpfc2bpNd94V yyHsGOoTEa60x6209xzc8hJj1K5HdkhhzrG89s9uMRKQi+boquD5wAThSo+wEJNs 2O1u7h6ID1b2l5y4E2oHHqqoJSCyZW6NuL3VogWxWv1B9CTeAGMAdU5YN0GipiWZ +YTgx6GYJUD/frsVFy+6ziRChEQG0+Vxqc0EVvimcoZhjpPsMgmAdF+PlJ6RGx39 a1iFleOqr+xZJtZQODQJD45Z0R7dj03KSIt1d1YHbNpcuz8RsevgoagPkfVD2W0B Db2IGyK7DOEOvsNPBDURv+ABTJPBDytLw57WjGg4S4hYtf+DNSgU/UVg1Nk6sF21 L4HAGumQvexVZDEWnGZy =1LlM -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Ob0USdAb6gUclSbE6AA7B0xvhAJjTtEsB--
