X yet again. No screens found (XFree86)

W

withoutn

I'm trying to get x started on freebsd 5.0, but i get an error and nothing seems to work. The monitor specs i used were from manufacturer's site. I'm not sure about the video card. I used vesa in config. I tried to use different settings for monitor, like reduced resolution etc, but it doesn't help. Please don't tell me to install newest BSD just yet, i'd like to try to fix this problem first, with your help. Thank you

Fatal server error:

Thanks,
 
thank you for your post. Unfortunately, that's as much as i realized myself. Now, how can i go about solving the problem?
 
i was rather hasty with the response, but it didn't occurred to me until just now. Why do you say i am using intel driver, and why would log file indicate that when in fact i am using vesa driver?
 
The log file doesn't indicate that you are using the intel driver, but it does indicate that you have an intel GPU. I think SirDice jumped to the wrong conclusion.

Beyond that, it's hard to tell what is going on. You have, after all, stripped a lot out of the log file, and it's impossible for us to say if any of it was important since you haven't posted it.

If you are using the vesa driver, how about trying the intel driver? If neither driver works, you may not have much option other than upgrading Xorg.

A guy visited a garage and asked mechanics how to arrange and drive a horse. It was lunch break and a foreman said: "Well, at lest tell us what vehicle your horse supposed to harness in?" "It's something with wheels," -advised the guy. "???" "Please don't tell me to buy a car just yet, I'd like to try to drive a horse first, with your help." :)

Please post here for the start the following:
your xorg.conf
you h/ware specification (mobo, processor, memory, video card, monitor)
dmesg output

SirDice probably in general meant that 5.0 Release Candidate might know nothing about your hardware. See what's written on the top of your quote of Xorg.0.log:

Release Date: 3 September 2002
If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is
newer than the above date, look for a newer version before
reporting problems. (See http://www.XFree86.Org/)

Hello folks,

Thank you for all the input.

I have installed freebsd 7.2 on that box and i don't seem to have any problems with x no more, at least for now.

It was pretty stupid of me not to do it at the very start.

Again, thanks
