HP Pavilion zd8000 Xorg anomaly
My system had crashed and it caused a directory to los it's dot and dot-dot entries. This was a directory that was used for iso-codes and everytie I started X, it would hang. So I didn't want to format the drive, too extreme. So I de-installed all my ports to re-install. After I got the ports un-installed, I was able to fix the filesystem problem with fsck. I tried beforehand,but it was way too many fsck issues. Anyway, I have somehow LOST my xorg.conf that WORKED. It was previously generated by xorg -configure. That doesn't work anymore. I am only able to us the vesa driver now. So I'm stuck with 1024x768, instead of 1440x900. I believe this was caused by the recent xorg update. I had been stable with X for YEARS. -- System Name: laptop2.StevenFriedrich.org Window Manager(s): kde4-4.5.5_1 X Window System: xorg-7.5.1X.Org X Server 1.7.7 OS version: FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE i386 (5.2 MB kernel) Platform:HP pavilion zd8000 (zd8215us) CPU: 2.80GHz Intel Pentium 4 (HTT) with 2 GB memory FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm: 32bit 2009061500/i386) Installed devices: pcm0: Intel ICH6 (82801FB) (play/rec) default ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Most of the time, you don't need an xorg.conf anymore, just insure the proper drivers are installed e.g. video card and X should autodetect and use highest available settings. Also sometimes on a bad crash multiple fsck's are required to get UFS back in a consistent state. -- Adam Vande More ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Either take backups of everything you actually care about before you experience data loss-- in which case you don't have a problem, since you can easily recover your data-- or accept that you are going to be sad when something happens and you have no way of getting it back.

I updated and rebuilt xf86-video-ati and it WORKS GREAT. Now it doesn't MATTER that I lost my xorg.conf.
