Hi Guys,
I'm at a loss and very new to FreeBSD, having been interested in linux for a few years, but only as what I'd describe as in "Intermediate" user I've gotten bored with those distros and I'm quite excited about FreeBSD and the way it works.
I have an old IBM ThinkPad 600x which has a neomagic magicgraph chipset and I'm having hell getting X to run gdm. I've added both xorg and gnome using;
to rc.conf. When the thinkpad boots it can't find any screens, so I've built the neomaic driver from the ports.
Now, when the laptop boots it attempts to launch gnome but crshes with a currpt display
Please help, I can't figure out where this is a configuration issue or a problem with the drivers. It's getting quite frustrating but I really am not ready to give up on FreeBSD yet!
Cheers!
