Hi there, A
few days ago I installed DragonFly BSD 2.8.2-RELEASE and all went very well,
but when I tried to configure X the problems came. I
have a SiS 630 integrated video card, and was running very well since DragonFly
BSD 1.2, I was using basically the same xorg.conf file
since then to DragonFly 2.6. This situation is very weird, cause
when I did a startx, it ran the default wm, I mean the one that opens 3 windows
with green borders. But when I ran it with xfce4 in .xinitrc, it shows a blank
screen and can’t get out to any tty, then I had
to reset the box. Then
I tried with PC-BSD 7.1.1 but never can´t launch the graphic installer, this is
strange cause, months ago, I installed the same PC-BSD, same CDs into this
machine and detected very well my SiS card, and now it can’t!! FreeBSD
8.1 did the same, xorg configured and startx goes to a blank screen with no
possibilities to switch with ALT+F1, F2, F3, etc. I
use the same xorg.conf I have always used for my past BSD systems, I don’t
have it right now but the highlights are: Device
“sis”, with xf86-video-sis on FreeBSD 8.1 With
device “vesa” it throws an error saying it can’t open the
display. The
HorizSync and VertRefresh are according to the same monitor I have for at least
5 years. I
will be very thankful if someone can explain to me the cause of this weird
behaviour. Thanks! Guillermo García Rojas
