question:
i just installed FreeBSD 4.7 on my laptop, when i log in as root, i can startx no problem at all but when i try to start it as a user, i can't. otiginally it told me i needed to be a member of the group 'wheel' to do startx, no problem, added myself in /etc/group, but for some reason i still can't startx as a user.
edit: actually, i can't startx as root either now, and as far as i can tell, the only thing i changed in my XF86Config file was to change the mouse type from ps/2 to usb, and the curious thing is that my mouse now works (and has a 3d look graphical pointer!) in the text-only screen, and i can't startx (most confusing - how's it displaying the mouse pointer if there's no X?)
anyway, here's the error log of both situations. the first is the error log of the user who cannot startx despite being a member of group 'wheel', the second is the error log of the superuser who cannot startx after some slightly odd mouse business went on.
Any help sorting this out will be much appreciated.

shouldn't the mouse protocol be IMPS/2, not USB?
-
it was 'PS/2' to start with (which is what xf86config set it to) but i played around because my laptop's glidepoint is totally incompatible with such a setting, and i wanted to get either my serial port mouse or my usb mouse to work with it (preferably the usb one). that's not the issue with the normal user though i am sure, and as i said i found that USB made the mouse work and have a GUI type pointer even when X is not running (??????????) but all of a sudden X won't start (more ????????)
-
The second case (not being able to do startx even as root) is definitely a problem that has to do with your mouse's re-configuration that evidently broke your X server.
As for the first case, it's really the first time I see a similar problem, that is not being able to do startx as a normal user. It should have something to do with user permissions. How about trying to create another user from scratch?
-
The mouse may have worked but the error message clearly states USB protocol isn't recognised, and that's why it bombs out. Just try changing it to IMPS/2.
-
IMPS/2 is not supported on this platform either, so i changed it back to PS/2 and /dev/sysmouse and now X starts as root but the mouse does not work. i suppose i'll have to search out a way of making a USB mouse work in FreeBSD.
now i created a new user from scratch and the new user has just the same problems that the original user had starting X. exactly the same problems.
freebsd sure is irritating. it has some sort of problem with the keyboard too (not the keymap, the actual pressing of keys et c). plus, where's tab completion? and shift-pageup?
more specifically, i am still clueless about this X thing...
-
Are you using bash?
-
yup. oh actually i might be using 'sh' are they different on freeBSD? i was assuming that sh and bash would be the same thing.
-
No, sh and bash are different shells.
-
Here's my mouse section in XF86Config file for FreeBSD 4.7. It works fine with both my M$ Optical Mouse and a generic USB mouse.
You can configure the sysmouse using /stand/sysinstall
You should be able to see the mouse moving even when X isn't started if you configure it correctly.
-
thanks! i'll try that when i get home!
well, it'll take me a few days actually as i have really made my hard drive into a huge bitbucket what with partitioners and bootloaders and so on but never mind!
-
I had a problem with my USB mouse in freebsd..... I now use a PS/2 mouse, but i dont use FreeBSD anymore.
-
so the lesson here is that to fix the problem i should use different software and different hardware. hey thanks! that's worth a try! (end sarcasm mode)
-
Did you resolve this?
I use 4.7 on three machines. USB mouse works fine on all.
As far as the shell goes if you want bash you need to install it. If you installed the ports tree;
cd /usr/ports/shells/bash2 && make all install clean
as root of course. Then you'll need to set it as the default for new users. Try adduser and set it how you want.
I used bash when I first converted to FBSD.
then I started playing with csh (I think it is really a link to tcsh) which is roots default shell. I love it it autocompletes and if you enter part of a command you can scroll back through the instances of that command in your history... and many more features. Unless you change it sh is the default for regular users.
-
well i didn't resolve this unfortunately, the laptop i had freebsd installed on has died and it will be a while before i can afford another computer. if i install freebsd on my desktop computer, the mouse will be a ps/2 one, not a usb one, so i'll never know now, will i?
-
From the FreeBSD Handbook:
Once the configuration file has been placed in a common location, configuration is complete. In order to start XFree86 4.X with startx(1), install the x11/wrapper port.
-----------------
If you would prefer a GUI login screen, then you don't need the wrapper. You can install something like XDM or WDM for all users to login and start an X session.
-
with freebsd, make sure that the console mouis working like you said it was, then run xf86cfg not xf86config and setup that. freebsd handles the mouse for x so it doesn't need funny protocals in x. just setup the mouse on the console, and you should be fine. and you use /stand/sysinstall to adjust the mouse, its under the configure section. as for it being run by the user, it should work when properly configured, make sure your
also, you might want to edit the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config file and down at the bottom in the
Section "Screen"
add
DefaultDepth 16
under the
Monitor "Monitor0"
indented part
to what ever you want the bit depth to be. x will probably load faster that way.
as for installing bash, get connected to the internet, and then as root
cd /usr/ports/shells/bash2
make install
then sit back and watch it build and install, or use the /stand/sysinstall, and gointo the configure > packages and give it a packages source and install from thier.
as for usb mice, it even picks up on the fact that its a 5 button mouse with z axis, however you have to add in the input device section if you have a scrool mouse
Option "ZAxixMapping" "4 5"
Option "Buttons" "5"#or however many it really has, mine has 7 buttons total for example
and that should do it./*ive probably repeated something somebody else has said, but ive been living the /usr/ports directory of freebsd 5.0 for about a week :D */
-
is freebsd good, does it have an x config on install etc, i might make the switch / try it out for a week or so.
-
yes it's good. the install process looks a bit like debian's to me. it comes with a shitload of good software but it was a bit cantankerous hardwarewise on my laptop (not as cantankerous as red hat 7.0 though) and the installer seems to have an annoying habit of not checking if you have enough hard drive space before you start installing the packages, so you only find out you ran out of space when it fails to install the packages. still, because it installs the system first and then gives you the package selection screen, even if your packages fail, you still have a full operating system installed.
-
I will now take a moment of silence for your old laptop.
***tear falls***
I willl of course assume that it was an early sign of impending doom.
My condolences
-
okay, i installed freeBSD 4.7 on a spare slice of my desktop machine (nothing will stop me!) and have got x to work, by using the SysMouse protocol and using/dev/sysmouse which works. now startx brings me to a twm window, i just need to go and look up how to get it to go to a gdm screen with all the desktop environments listed when the system starts. somebody did tell me all that info in another thread, so i just have to look it up now.
as for that laptop it was poor design. the manufacturer chose to put the hot air out vent in the exact same place on the (plastic) case as the power jack on the motherboard, meaning of course that over time, the solder on the power jack seeps off onto the rest of the motherboard. it's been fixed once for

when i get my new harddrive im just gonna go all out and have like 5 Linuces and BSDs on it.
Now i just need a new hardrive (http://tongue.gif)
-
i have a shitty maxtor 15GB drive and currently it has freebsd, dos, debian, redhat, mandrake and lycoris desktop on it.
plus a 4GB home partition.

speak for your own shitty drive, boy.
im on a 3 gig harddrive, down from 20 gigs, damn its hard not to install stuff :mad:

i should think if i had a 3Gb drive it would be easy to not install stuff! :D
