    Xorg freezes system. Configuration problem?

    Whether I install Gnome and Metacity or only Metacity, has made no difference. This time I installed Gnome just to be on the safe side. I have also passed the dbus hurdle. Trying to enable it has always resulted in "Command not found," but this time it was successful, but TWM is still...

    Xorg freezes system. Configuration problem?

    And what about this answer? :\ Hopefully I can try configuring in the opposite order without having to re-install. But then even that would only be a minor annoyance. Whether a standard installation only uses a small number of the files on the DVD or because FreeBSD is very efficient, it...

    Xorg freezes system. Configuration problem?

    Xorg freezes system. Configuration problem?

    I am impressed with the quick response! If hald is enabled, why does it not load? What is the difference between between "enable" and "load"? Forgive me. I am used to Linux terminology.:r Plus, when I attempt to configure, hald enables, but dbus does not. The handbook states that both...

    Xorg freezes system. Configuration problem?

    I have tried to install FreeBSD almost ten times, but have the same result every time. I install the complete system, including Xorg, with the installation DVD. I follow the instructions in the FreeBSD Handbook. hald enable=”YES” dbus enable=”YES” The first problem; dbus...
