Hello All: I recently upgraded my Dell Inspiron 8600 to fBSD 5.3 from 5.2. Although there have been a few problems with software that I chalked up to issues with the new version of gcc, my main problem has been using X.org. I had previously been using XFree86. After the upgrade, I copied my functional XF86Config file to /etc/xorg.conf. The machine will freeze completely, before switching to a graphical mode. ctrl+alt+backspace will not back out of it, and I am unable to even SSH into the machine. Perhaps the strangest issue is that after I hard reboot, there is no log in /var/log generated and my xorg.conf file is truncated to an empty text file. When no conf file is provided, X will load a generic gui. I have a mobile geforce card. I used the Nvidia drivers installed from ports. I uninstalled/reinstalled the drivers after the upgrade. Perhaps this post is on the wrong list, but does anyone have any suggestions?
