xorg.conf - PC-BSD Forums

ggordon · #1 10-28-2006, 11:50 PM

Here is a copy pf my xorg.conf from the Linux distro I am currently using...my question is...will this video setup correctly on a PC-BSD 1.3 Beta1 install or will I have to fight it tooth and nail to work in PC-BSD?

Who knows?...the obvious answer is try it but it looks like everything is doubled or maybe you just pasted twice. If 1.3 does show you a screen, backup the current xorg.conf and put yours in its place, then you've got something to fall back on if yours fails.

Generally, XOrg is same on Linux and FreeBSD/PC-BSD, so that surelly your config would work.
However, directories structure and devices naming could be different between system. So, you could need to correct paths and device names (e.g. /dev/mouse) to used by PC-BSD.

But, I've looked through your config and have not found there anything special. So, I actually wonder why do you need to keep/copy it? I think XOrg will generate same quality config automatically (probably, only except monitor frequency).
Or have I missed something?

I tried installing PC-BSD and apparently it doesn't like the Intel chipset as X would not start. I got it to a 640x480 resolution and quit in fustration after that. I may try again and see if my Linux config will work, either by a straight copy from a USB stick or I'll print it out and then edit the PC-BSD config with ee. Since 1.3 is still beta1, I was wondering if this might be fixed or addressed in a later build. I hate to ruin a perfectly working Linux box to have to fight my way through a PC-BSD setup to a decent resolution. Looking through the forums, I appear not to be the only one to have experienced this problem.
