i installed FreeBSD 5.x on a box with a video card Diamond SpeedStar A90 and a Fujitsu Siemens Monitor B772-1
when i do "startx" it gives me something like this:
fatal error: no devices detected
no screen detected
i'm lost...i don't know what to do.....i read the handbook ten times...doing as it recommends....my problem i think is that i don't know how to find about my video card and monitor features (synchro....)...i don't have their docs!!!
is this a dualboot machine? in a situation like this, it would be fortunate to be able to boot this machine up into Windows, to get a look at the info it has on the video card.
Did you set up a config file for XFree86? The handbook should walk you through this, but you're going to need to know information about your card.
thank you guys for help...
I resolved the problem by trying lot of possibilities concerning the screen modes (i'm beginner)...it was the only information i could'nt retrieve from windows OS (i have the dual boot)...i don't read nor the doc given by my material vendor but windows gave me info about the card...(but nothing on the scren modes)
thank you guys for help...
