One giant step accomplished! One small step closer to getting startx to work!!!Bryan Pierce wrote:Steven M. Bellovin wrote:# startx I get this message...The problem is startx, I think. Looking at the script, it's using the output of 'hostname' as something to feed to xauth. Per a previous post by Bryan -- and it's on my list to reply to -- he doesn't have a local host name. Try setting it to 'localhost', which will at least keep xauth happy.I finally got this far!!!
I don't know exactly what I changed...but I got to a message saying it couldn't create raw key code for my keboards...or something like that, and suggested adding
options "Protocol" "wskbd"
options "Device" "/dev/wskbd"
And that worked!!!
So then it gave me an error...
/dev/wsmouse could not be loaded...Device busy
So then I went back to my rc.conf, where I had previously selected...
xfw=YES
xmd=YES
wscons=YES
wsmouse=YES // <== and I changed this to NO
And when I restarted...I had what looked like a block of tiny screens about 1" tall running across the bottom
of my screen...amd you could see like little lines when I move my mouseSo it seems like it is really trying to work!! I flipped the above variables all to NO...rebooting and ran startx, and got the same ribbon running across the bottom of my screen, but in color (just red and black)
I'll go back and play with my hsync and vsync values...(seems the first logical thing)... But if anyone has any ideas...or suggestions on how I should have these variables set...
It would be once again, really appreciated!! Thanks again for your help!! :D Bryan
