Hi Fred, thanks for the information about xorg.conf... I was really wondering how comes xorg can work without .conf It's the first time in my 7-years-unix life that I see this.
Unfortunately your email came too late, after I had already spent some 2 hours configuring per hand xorg.conf... now it's done In any case I don't understand what is going on because 915resolution doesn't find out the mode: ----------------------------------------------------------------- 915resolution -l | grep 1280x768 ------------------------------------------------------------- yields nothing. The compiled c patch (see thread 855 chipset resolution) is not working either... Another "funny" thing is that suddenly today the CPU was very hot and the fans going crazy. I made a top and ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- load averages: 1.26, 0.58, 0.25 15:23:41 46 processes: 1 running, 44 idle, 1 on processor CPU states: 57.4% user, 0.0% nice, 42.6% system, 0.0% interrupt, 0.0% idle Memory: Real: 99M/214M act/tot Free: 780M Swap: 0K/3584M used/tot PID USERNAME PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE WAIT TIME CPU COMMAND 14336 root 64 0 624K 1748K run - 0:38 82.57% gdm-binary 2426 pau 2 0 6096K 14M sleep poll 0:01 1.03% gnome-terminal ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- gdm is using 82.57% of the CPU?!??! I don't know what the problem is... I would like to believe that the problem is THIS laptop. I have never seen anything like that in the crashbox, an ibm 43... And in general everything is about 15% slower than with linux... I notice that even when deleting lines outside of X. Why is that? I haven't installed tons of things; just some 12 packages. Today I installed the gimp and it's crashing all the time ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (gimp:5968): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_convert: assertion `str != NULL' failed (gimp:5968): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_convert: assertion `str != NULL' failed (gimp:5968): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_convert: assertion `str != NULL' failed (gimp:5968): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_convert: assertion `str != NULL' failed (gimp:5968): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_convert: assertion `str != NULL' failed (gimp:5968): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_convert: assertion `str != NULL' failed (gimp:5968): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_convert: assertion `str != NULL' failed (gimp:5968): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_convert: assertion `str != NULL' failed (gimp:5968): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_convert: assertion `str != NULL' failed (gimp:5968): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_convert: assertion `str != NULL' failed (gimp:5968): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_convert: assertion `str != NULL' failed zsh: 5968 segmentation fault gimp ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (no, it doesn't have anything to do with zsh... it's the same with ksh) Another point: firefox (1.5.0.x) is _crashing_ very often... and I couldn't fix totally the anti-aliasing thing explained in the faqs Bouuuf... No, if you use o'bsd for a server you don't need the gimp, of course! But I want o'bsd for a desktop and I don't feel like chopping a region of a png file with vi, even if it'd possible in principle... all this is very frustrating... well, wireless is working... but that's a blobish thing... not so happy I think I'm going to drop it... and it's really VERY frustrating... I was starting to play with pf and it's just amazing Cheers, Pau > The Xorg X server doesn't need an xorg.conf to run - it probes, and try > to work out the right answer on startup.
