Bug #2537

Updated by tuxillo almost 11 years ago

I thought I would take Dragon Fly BSD for a drive on my AMD FX8120, ASUS M5A97 EVO, Radeon 7950, 16GB unbuffered ECC.    I tried to run live from the CD but 'startx' would not launch xorg.    So I installed anyway after seeing the graphical installer.    After installation it appears xdm is installed but startx will not start xorg.    "Xoeg -configure" then "Xorg -config /root/xorg.conf.new -retro" produces a beautiful crosshatch and moving mouse.    So I installed kde-desktop-4.8.4 after I placed "RCD_SCRIPTS_DIR=?/etc/rc.d" and "PKG_RCD_SCRIPTS=YES" in the top endif in /usr/pkg/etc/mk.conf     I have added "kdm4_enable="YES" to /etc/rc.conf     I have written "echo "exec startkde" ~/.initrc"    Then I have correct ttyv8 to "/usr/pkg/bin/kdm -nodaemon" xterm on secure" 

 

 Usually my message from my machine is cannot start xorg or /usr/etc/X    Then I got a message that kdm will not start because another instance of xdm is running. 

 

 I was of course following the recipe in your online handbook.    Just thought you might want to know.
