I've started with FreeBSD (12.1). this is an attempt to learn more about FreeBSD. First I installed qemu (qemu: stable 5.0.0 (bottled)) with homebrew on my macbook pro (mid 2014 - os: Mojave). I used the following commands for the installation: qemu-img create -f qcow2 freebsd.qcow2 40G...

hi!! I am installing freebsd 12.1 (i386) on my thinkpad T460s. Video device = Skylake GT2 [HD Graphics 520] I have a black screen when I am trying to login on KDE5. I can only see my mouse. My option is ATL+CTL+F1.... I followed the steps on the handbook (5.3. Installing Xorg and 5.7.2. KDE)...

I am on Dell Inspiron core Duo 2 using FreeBSD 12.1 release. First I did setup synaptics from FreeBSD wiki page but no matter what I did my device was being picked up by libinput as was obvious from Xorg.0.log. Only removing 40-libinput.conf from /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ removed the libinput...

Hello FreeBSD community, I like to run FreeBSD 12.1 on VMware Fusion on a Mac Mini. The install itself is pretty easy to follow. During the install process I choose a german keyboard layout. When the installation process is finished, and I log in to e.g. XFCE the keyboard layout does not work...

Hi, I am using Acer Aspire E1 V5we2 and trying to configure my touchpad. My touchpad is not recognised by the system, as it shows PS/2 generic. I tried to use synaptics but it still not working. I can't even copy paste here the code text so will send wgetpaste links. my...

After a fresh FreeBSD installation, I was trying to run blender in the laptop and I noticed that just grabbing the default cube and trying to rotate around it performs really slow and sluggy/jumpy instead of making a smooth movement. This are the pkgs installed: #installed pkgs...

Hello everyone. I'm having some trouble trying to add a scroll bar into a Xterm terminal. I tried to find on the internet some way to get it work but I can't because I can't find the right config file, most of the tutorials that I saw were just for Arch Linux and as I can see Xorg is a little...

I'm not sure if this is an issue for security but I was wondering if is it possible to run urxvt and/or xorg as an unpreviliged user that isn't root. Starting urxvt opens an another instance by root killing of which effects nothing at all.

Hello everybody, I've installed FreeBSD 12.1 on my laptop Thinkpad X1 Carbon 6 and a lot of thing work well (wifi, sound etc). I've first installed xfce4 and found a script on a forum to set my keyboard in french on xorg. But now I've installed KDE5 (KDE5 is in french) I've found nothing which...

Hey guys. I hope everyone is staying safe with COVID-19. Here's hoping it will go to /dev/null soon... So, anyway, as the title of this post says, I'm having trouble getting X to start (XFCE4 works fine when it manages to load properly with Xorg). I know things are working fine because the text...

Hi, I cannot change resolution. I tried via xrandr, arandr and KDE5 settings but it simply doesn't work. I'm using FreeBSD on my virtual machine. I use Virtualbox and I think that this may be a problem. When I try to change resolution it gives: "Failed to get size of gamma for output default". I...

Hello, I've been using FreeBSD for many years now on my servers, but I decided to try it out on my ThinkPad x220 with a desktop environment. I have setup Xorg on my machine, and I'm currently using awesome wm. I'm trying to configure awesome wm (i.e. setting up new keybinds, changing themes)...

I'm just setting up HardenedBSD, which is based on FreeBSD. I was trying to install and get Ice-WM running but whenever I try to run it, I get some messages telling me that it can't open the display and that X must be running. I have a screenshot of the problem at hand. So how do I get X...

Hello everyone, I'm running FreeBSD 12.1-p2 on an old Dell XPS M1330 laptop. The video card is an old nVidia GeForce 8400M GS, and everything use to work fine with driver "nvidia-driver-304-304.137_6". A few days ago I installed the latest system updates, and now X.org stopped working. By...

I'm having trouble getting my dual monitor setup to work. I have my first monitor "Screen0" plugged into my motherboard (intel, at least I think so). I have my second monitor plugged into my nvidia graphics card, "Screen1". I can get the Screen0 to work if I have my driver set to "modesetting"...
