I was not very specific on my problem, earlier. Let's
see if this helps! :)
- FreeBSD-version: 5.1
- brand and type/chipset of your video-card: ATI
Technlogies, Mach64; 3D RagePro (atir), memory 8mb.
- what kind of monitor: COMPAQ CV515, 15in. Can do
up to 1024x768.
- which setup-program did you try: I reinstalled
FreeBSD after I sent the message, and I found that I
did not completely configure the X server. I thought
it would have solved the problem but this is what I
got:
(EE) No devices detected.
Fatal server error:
no screens found.
I ran the xf86config -textmode.
About...3 years ago I ran Caldera OpenLinux on my
system with KDE and I was able to get it to work
successfully.
Thanks to those who've responded already! (especially
albi for suggesting to respond with more info :P)
