missing xorgconfig
Having reinstalled my laptop twice and updated to stable 7.2 prerelease but each time no xorgconfig exists as I am used to. xfce4 starts ok, but I get the known mouse locked problem and would love and xorg.conf to edit as I have learned but it doesn`t exist. Anyone know hos to install xorgconfig manually ?? kenneth ___ 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

X can generate a config file itself. Just run X -configure. -- Christian Laursen ___ 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

No need to run xorgconfig As root, run: X -configure This will create a /root/xorg.conf.new file that you can edit and move to /etc/X11/xorg.conf Note that you will probably have to add some ServerFlags (look at the list archives of few days ago) if you wish to actually use the InputDevices section of your xorg.conf file. ___ 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

Anyone know hos to install xorgconfig manually ?? You don't really want xorgconfig though it should exist in /usr/local/bin. What you want is'Xorg -configure' Note the uppercase 'X' on Xorg and in the 'X -config' command below. Then, after it makes the xorg.conf.new file in the home directory (root's - hopefully you are doing this from root) you run 'X -config xorg.conf.new' to check it out. NOTE: that Xorg and X are also in /usr/local/bin. That needs to be in your path. After that, edit the xorg.conf.new file and add in a subsection Display under the screen section to give the resolution for the monitor screen under the correct depth level. Looks something like: SubSection Display Viewport 0 0 Depth 16 Modes 1280x1024 EndSubSection but with your correct depth and Modes. Then, get rid of (comment out) all the other subsection Display blocks that don't apply to your machine. You could have more than one, but generally not on an LCD screen. Finally, copy that xorg.conf.new file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf After that, it is a matter of playing around with your window manager and desktop utility. jerry kenneth ___ 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 ___ 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

But by using the technique of creating the file as most of you guys mentioned and in addition consulting the xorg.file configured on another machine with xorgconfig I actually managed to piece together a working file with working mouse after adding serverflags etc Thanx a lot !!
