I give up... been through several tutorials, and I have followed them to a letter.
installed xf86-video-nv which supports my card
installed hal from ports
installed slim from ports
dbus was installed by one of the above
dbus_enable="YES"
hald_enable="YES"
slim_enable="YES"
installed mate from ports
.xinitrc mate-session in both user and root
system stops at GUI login screen and nothing happens when I type.
<CTRL> <ALT> + <F1> exits the GUI and will allow terminal login
xinit mate-session fails to do anything
I am stuck here... and by all the stuff I've read it should work
I tried editing /etc/ttys and wound up having to re load FreeBSD because I couldn't get back in to edit it again. The last edit was to replace xdm with slim in the virtual tty#8 (I think)
Help would be appreciated.
