Hello all,
I installed Freebsd 8.0 (from the dvd iso) on a laptop HP compaq nx9010,i installed it many times ,i even put back windows xp to see the hardware and generate a system info,and this has been 3-4 months i am trying to run (i won't give up i learn),http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=862&page=3
and yes i read the handbook,this is the system info generated showing my hardware
http://pastebin.com/m55df22c7
I didn't set up the connection yet,
i am stuck to configure x,
i enebled hald and dbus,i also made the control alt backspace work to kill x as mentioned in the handbook,
i hit the command # Xorg -configure which generated the con file,i tested x with this command # Xorg -config xorg.conf.new -retro (without retro i could not see if x works or not),then with control alt backspace i could kill x,but after configuring and copying the xorg.conf.new when i startx i can't kill x with these configuration:
http://pastebin.com/m9ad699a
guys on the irc chan told i don't have to configue it as i have enabled hald and dbus,
with these configuration i hit startx i got a black screen and the control alt backspace didn't work,i also made the .xinitrc but same probleme (i wrote on it to execute fvwm <exec fvwm>)
and these are my log file ,it is the Xorg.0.log file in /var/log
http://pastebin.com/m287468dd
so what is the solution ? maybe i missed something i am still learning :stud
thank you i hope this thread will help others too.
sorry about the pastbin i can't write more than 10000 lines on the thread!!



p.s:i sware i read the handbookx(

Thank you i will try this conf ,do you think i should make a custom kernel ?


Updates :
I tried your conf file sent in pastbin ,and followed and read the link of the thread.
but it didn't work,i still can't kill x,i still can't run x ,mouse don't move,
i start x then i see two big window one named xterm,the other login and the mouse doesn't move around and can kill it ,i got only an error after swithing from altf9 to altf1<<<and that was after i changed the xinitrc file and i put nothing ...but when i put what you said in the thread that you gave me the link i can't kill x,and i switch to altf1 i have to kill xini by control+z ....etc

please help ,you want any log files or more information just ask !
 
For debugging purpose, use [CMD=""]vesa[/CMD] driver and tell me how it behaves.

You can attach a Xorg.0.log output here, but you sould als trey [CMD=""]ati[/CMD]and [CMD=""]radeonhd[/CMD] drivers in xorg.conf

You were suppose tu use my config, which you are not using, put my config in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf place and try again with that one: http://pastebin.com/f4e0b56cb

Yes i was supposed to do it,i missed something probably ,i wrote the file with ee and moved it there,but now i checked the xorg.conf and i see it as the default conf...
anyway,now i got x run i followed the steps from the thread you wrote about disabling hald and dbus ,and i got a black screen with a mouse moving with a shape of X ,and a window of xterm, (important: i had to switch back to user to edit the .xinitrc ), and a left click with the mouse shows me twm,and the control alt backspace worked to kill x ...on vbox i got the same result i supose that means x is working fine ?
i suppose i have to read more to add a window manager now ,i want to add fvwm as a window manager which will run with no problem with my hardware,and also i will check and configure the connection.
many thanks bro!
 
@oYo

Good. Now you have fully working x11 without hald/dbus crap, if fvwm will run there, then also fluxbox/openbox/pekwm will be, if you know fvwm, then go ahead with your tuned config, but if you want to start, then better stick to openbox.

After years with fluxbox and checking pekwm I finally landed with openbox which offers best of these three.

To set fvwm as WM, just add it as a package and replace the line with twm with fvwm in ~/.xinitrc:
Code: 
 xterm &
[color="Green"]+fvwm[/color]
[color="Red"]-twm[/color]

It is not a wifi,that is all i know ...it is connected with an adsl modem with one cable >>http://www.huawei.com/products/terminal/products/view.do?id=121,i don't know if that helps ...
this is the system information report i made while xp was installed ,it shows the hardware ,i can't understand what information must be needed to configure it ...http://pastebin.com/m21bc069b
something tells me it is a DHCP i don't know why :r ,but how to configure it or make it work ..because in the sysinstall i choosed dhcp...
many thanks!

Updates: all works fine,problem solved.
