no device to configure

[emamarro]

Hi, coming from archlinux I tried my first installation freebsd 8.0
startx give me error output "no screen found" and in Xorg.0.log reports "xf86EnableIO:Failed to open /dev/io for extended I/0(II)
No devices to configure.

More output
(EE) Failed to load module "fbdev" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) No device detected

When I try Xorg -configure or xorgconfigure or any other command I get " no command found" and in /etc/X11 there is no file xorg.conf

My video card is ATI 3d rage pro ,my monitor is horz 30.0-81.0 Vert 56.0-72.0


Thank you for any help
ciao

You probably need to install x11-drivers/xf86-video-r128.

[emamarro]

Thanks,I installed it but unfortunately same error..
I also have installed ati,radeonhd,mach64,fbdev

My first question however is why can not generate a xorg.conf :\

If you get a "no command found" when executing Xorg -configure it's most likely because Xorg isn't installed properly. What's the output of pkg_version -v | grep xorg?

[emamarro]

When I try Xorg -configure I get now a list of video drivers ending with same message No device to configure

When I try to launch pkg_version -v | grep xorg I get list of xorg-7.4_2 = up-to-date with port
-apps
-docs
-drivers
-fonts (many)
-libraries
-server-1.6.1,1

Ciao

What's the output of 'sysctl kern.securelevel' ?

Adam

[emamarro]

the output is:
kern.securelevel : 1

the strange thing is that for a certain time after installation I was able to get xterm shell doing startx

After installed kde and gnome I get the error..

[SirDice]

Set your security level to -1. It's probably set in /etc/rc.conf, just remove the entry.

[emamarro]

great! I get now xterm shell,thanks a lot! Hope fun will start now ;) ciaoOo

Hi,

I am curious about this: what needs to be done if one wants to raise the security level, say to 2, and still use X? I tried this and also got the no screen found error.

Thanks!
