But then, updating to current, I shot my box ;( I was affraid of that answer :( but I don't have much choice here in order to get rid of my last linux box. Seems that some drivers are only supported with -release and almost all development is focused on that. If you do not necessarely upgrade to current, 4.9-5.2.1-R workes just finde as said above. And the way to CURRENT maybe the fault was on my side. I think so, too. Just backup and try. But please, read the howto-file carefully.

X in FreeBSD needs Linux-start
Hello, a funny thing I mention: My FreeBSD-Box (first 4.9, now 5.2.1) boots up to the login-prompt. Then, after typing ´startx´ (default=waimea) nothing is going on, the HD´s LED is blinking and then the machine is sleeping until I press strg+c. If I want to start xfce4 by typing ´startxfce4´, all is done, but the net-services in xfce4 are sleeping aswell. No, the wonder in my story, if I start Mandrake-Linux first, reboot the box and start FreeBSD again, all things are wonderful and I can login to X (waimea) and do my daily work. This is not the way I want to go in nearest future, I want to check out the failure and workaround it. Google had no informations for me, so I have to ask here.

Re: FreeBSD 5.2.1 Freezes ...
Am Dienstag, 2. März 2004 14:09 schrieb Dinesh Nadarajah: I recently intsalled FreeBSD 5.2 and of late 5.2.1. On both systems I am seeing system freeze when I start X. Here are the two cases: On my Dell laptop, X workes fine as long as I don't have ~/.xinitrc. But if I start gnome-session through .xinitrc, the box freezes. When I reboot, FreeBSD goes into an 'entropy harvesting' mode and then asks me to execute /bin/sh and then run 'fsck'.
