[PC-BSD] My laptop is restarting when it is trying to start the X (PCBSD)

[spyfuture]

Hi,

I installed the PC-BSD on my hard drive. When I installed, it asked me for the first reboot so I did it, however after that it is not starting the X and it always makes my laptop restarted like a crashing.

I only saw this error when it tried to get the X:

ppc0: cannot reserve I/O port range

My laptop is an Acer Aspire 5755G. All the information about the laptop you can download here (html file) http://www.filedropper.com/report

Best Regard,

Rebooting may not have anything to do with X.

That is from the boot messages, something to do with a parallel port that most notebooks do not have anyway.

A generic page, and it does not let me see the file, which makes me suspicious. Try pastebin.com.

Note: this is an i7 notebook with Optimus. Check the BIOS to see if Optimus can be disabled. I've been told that Optimus-enabled notebooks might still work with X as long as only Intel KMS is used, and vesa and other non-Intel drivers are not attempted by xorg.conf.
