Ok My first try at seeking advice/help...hope I dont screw it up...)) I have installed FreeBSD 4.2...have it running and am doing all I can to "Learn"...have been to the home page and read every FAC I can find...Found a few mention's of AGP but no howto's...... The issue..First is that I am such a "Newbie" I dont know my way around ..hence the Learning part. But....I have it installed and am logged in as user or as root and have been setting up my xwindows. The Graphical interface works perfectly...No problem there I can go thorough all the set up screens and then when I try to "startx" I get this error: (--) SVGA: unable to open /dev/agpgart: Device not configured Fatal Server error: Aborting I am Installed on a p111 600....128 M RAM NO OTHER OS ....CLEAN FreeBSD.....Have a Packard Bell 1024 SVGA Monitor....The problem is with the video card I think...I have a Intel 3D Express AGP 4 Megs of Memory... It is the i740 chip set. I have selected the i740 option in the video chipset option when I am going through set up. Plus every other option(to include the AGP one offered) to see if I can get it going. Sigh...none of them have allowed me to get the xwindows to start. I have tryed to figure out how to "Edit/Veiw" the agpgart dev...but am stuck.......I have a feeling it's because I have not learned the "Language" but *sigh* A newbie is, according to every e-mail I have seen in the -descusion -question -newbies forums are just used to make all the "oldies" feel bothered or start a million part thread on how we(newbies) dont know "any-Damn-thing " LOL Any help would be appreciated..........
