[admail2]

The video card is "ATI ES1000"


# lspci
06:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc ES1000 (rev 02)


Please help me to check the problem, thanks so much. :(:(
I'm following X11 document but I could not run gnome, what I did was:


Xorg -configure
# black screen

Xorg -config xorg.conf.new -retro
# I can see a black and grey grid and an X mouse cursor appear,but can not move X mouse cursor.



Gnome was installed during I install BSD7.2, by CD. But when I did "startx", it stoped and back to command line, no gnome screen showing up.


# cat .xinitrc
exec gnome-session


xorg.conf in /etc/X11 folder:

how can I upload my Xorg.log.0 file?

Thanks,

[admail2]

To check this if you can get it:

http://xdicry.googlepages.com/xorg.log.0

thanks,

[adamk]

There is nothing in your Xorg log file to indicate that X is failing to start up. When you are dropped back to the console after running 'startx' do you get any errors?

For the mouse, read the sticky thread (http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=4224) in the X.org forum.

For starting gnome, read the handbook
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x11-wm.html#X11-WM-GNOME-INSTALL

The following is stderr, collected by "startx &> err.log"

It kind of like a dbus problem,

FWIK, polkitd_enable isn't required anymore.
