Xorg/laptop

[Bomgardner,Jon]

Greetings!

I'm relatively new to FreeBSD and am having a bit of trouble getting
Xorg up and running on my laptop.

I've searched the handbook, FAQ, Google, and FreeBSD newsgroups to no
avail. After following the handbook instructions to set up an xorg.conf
file (the command xorg -configure actually hangs my system, so I used
both xorgcfg -textmode and xorgconf to generate the file) everytime I
run startx(1) or Xorg(1) the system hangs.  Checking out the
/var/log/xorg.0.log file shows the final item as:


(II) Loading sub module "ddc"
(II) LoadModule: "ddc"
(II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/mofules/libddc.a
(II) Module ddc: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
		compiled for 6.7.0, module version = 1.0.0
		ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 0.7


Everytime I run this it hangs, I CTRL-ALT-DEL to shut it down and this
is the place where the log file ends - EVERY TIME. Here's my specs:

Toshiba Satellite 1805-S203 (yes, I know it's not on the compatible
list)
800MHz Pentium II (I believe... it's been a while since I've had to
quote specs)
128M RAM
15G HD
FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE (Build date: 16 October 2004)
Xorg (X11, Release 6.7) 

Any thoughts or help of any kind would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jon Bomgardner
