hi everyone, I need help with Xorg. I'm new in freebsd and read some other posts and some documentation pages, but can't manage to solve by myself. Could you help me?
I would like to start FreeBSD with a GUI, so I installed gnome2 and Xorg through sysinstall, taking the needed contents directly from the FreeBSD installation DVD.
Then I've add to /etc/rc.conf the
line, and run [cmd=]Xorg -config[/cmd] it told me I could try the configuration by typing [cmd=]Xorg -config xorg.conf.new[/cmd]. I did but all I had was a black screen, without pointer.
Now, after the boot I've got a black screen with a cross cursor that moves when I move the mouse, but nothing else appear. If I press Alt+Ctrl+F9, a green screen full of black stripes appears, with form, that seems to be the login form, but I can't say for sure, because it is empty, here's only the outline and inside it's white.
Can you give some advice, please ?
