One question: I have just installed FreeBSD 6.3, and tried "startx"
but it isnt coming up, giving some sort of error. Am I missing
something here? I did choose for "Windows X" during the FreeBSD setup
- shall I do a port upgrade?

I did configure Xorg as it said in the handbook, but after that the
test didnt work, still gave me the same error. I then installed from a
port (I assume that will be the latest Xorg 7.3 is it? How can I check
what version do I have?
What is way forward now? uninstall this and install Xorg 6?
1) Post xorg.conf.new as suggested.
2) pkg_info | grep xorg will show you whats installed
3) check the hardware list to see if there are know issues
4) Google the error and freebsd + xorg + your system
You will get the most (probably) from posting xorg.conf.new. along with
'uname -a' output. Don't edit it just send it to the list avoiding line
wrapping.

Just to repeat. I installed FreeBSD 6.3, its a new Toshiba notebook. I
chose to install X Windows during sysinstall. The very first time I
ran startx it didnt work. Then I did the "Xorg -configure" and tried
again, and still doesnt work. Please help !!!!
Thanks
Hopefully other will correct any errors I make. Hainvg said that ...
If you are still getting:
(EE) Failed to load module "fbdev" (module does not exist, 0)
(WW) I810: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:0:2:1) found
(II) Module "ddc" already built-in
(EE) VESA(0): No matching modes
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration
Fatal server error:
no screens found
X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown)
You need to deal with at least the (EE) errors. You are getting a more basic
error that if you are using KDE, Gnome or whatever for a window manager.
(EE) Failed to load module "fbdev"..
You have to figure what's with fbdev. Possibilities are you need a driver
other than vesa, or Xorg got built incorrectly.
(EE) VESA(0): No matching modes
I believe this means what it says. Try adding
DefaultDepth 16 or 24 - pick one and
Modes "1280x1024" - to the depth you picked
(WW) I810: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:0:2:1) found
I think this means there were two video cards found. From your
description I do not know why this would be. The xorg server choose the
other one so this is not a drop dead error.
I am assuming you get the same error running startx or
Xorg -config xorg.conf.new. If not try the latter command.
