My FreeBSD installation saga ;-( continues...
I have configured the X-server and some other things, but when I run X
all I get is a grey (i.e., black and white display) screen that goes way
off my monitor, with a mouse prompt 'X', and a frozen system (well, sort
of frozen, -- the mouse moves the mouse pointer, but that is all I can
do. I have to hit the 'RESET' key and reboot -- and pray the the
filesystem is in order -- to do anything).
I have a NEC 4FGe with an ATI Graphics Ultra Pro (I tried running with
the driver for this card and with the standard VGA driver -- both gave
the same, bad results...)
I entered the sync frequencies right out of my monitor manual -- so the
problem must be with something else.
Any ideas?
