Alright. Suppose I want to have an Xorg so I can manipulate dual monitors with xrandr, if I create an xorg.conf, which takes precedence? I'd guess the xorg.conf would be used. Man, I really admire the unix powers you guys have. I'm working on building mine up with these projects. (And maybe a...

Associated question here. Can X operate without an /etc/X11/xorg.conf? I ask because I built a nice Dell E6510 laptop with dual monitors. X mirrors the same screen output to both monitors (I'm working on fixing that. Xrandr is probably the answer) Problem is, I find no /etc/X11/xorg.conf yet X...

Sorry, didn't do the make install clean format thing. I'll do that from here out.

Yes. I did the make install clean from graphics/libdrm as suggested but got an error message saying "You may want to deinstall" so I did. Then make reinstall, no error messages. startx makes the screen go into power saving mode still. The directions I followed are in the "Installing X11" from...

Stop in /usr/ports/graphics/libdrm May want to make deinstall Did so. make reinstall No error messages, startx screen goes to sleep. No screens again in xorg.conf. http://madlinux.com/temp/xorg.conf.new I usually handle my own computer problems but I followed the directions to the letter and...

I added this to /etc/rc.conf: WITH_KMS=yes WITH_NEW_XORG=yes Installed xorg after a fresh FreeBSD 9 install and still get the damn "Monitor goes into power save" mode when I hit startx. Error message says 'no screens found'. Added one to xorg.conf, same damn thing. I'm about to throw this...

Alright. I'll try that. Thanks again. Greg

Yes, apologies. Omitted the video info: On board Video Intel® GMA 3150 I'm really happy with the box otherwise. It's nearly silent, takes little power and space. Just hope to have X running with a nice gnome2 install if we can get that far. Greg

Has anybody ever gotten X to run on Zotac ZBOX SD-ID12 with 9.1? I followed the handbook to the letter and only get a black screen b/c because the monitor goes into power save. No ctrl+alt+Backspace gets me out and I am forced to reboot. The smartasses on #freebsdHELP were (as usual)...

For the record, dig whatever.com works, full network access from root shell pkg_add -r fails.

Why did they break pkg_add? Most of my experience was with FreeBSD5 and it worked like a charm out of the box. Now, it fails every time, just like wireless used to work. Now it's broken. Is this progress?
