Hi, folks: I have a P133 with a Diamond Multimedia Stealth64 2001 video card with 1 MB of RAM. I just did a reinstall of FreeBSD 2.2.5 on Friday. I haven't been able to get X to work. I have spent inordinate time in /etc/XF86Config and decided to start anew. The reinstall worked. I got X working Friday night, mouse and all, and tried Enlightenment on my own account, FVWM2 on my root account, and all seemed cool. Sunday night I got back to the computer, without having used it in the interim (left it running, of course), and now startx, xinit, XF86Setup, and going to XF86Setup via /stand/sysinstall [both using existing /etc/XF86Config and not] all cause my machine to crash. I get a gray monitor, and then can do nothing. control-alt-backspace does nothing, and I end up having to do control-alt-delete to restart. My question: does anyone know why X worked initially and then went screwy? This happened with no further input from me after it was working. If I had been mucking about at all I would figure I had done something, but I had not been. Thanks. Chris Booth ___________________________ Christopher J.
