After several weeks now, I finally got my X.org environment up and running after my ill-fated 7.2 upgrade mess.
The last obstacle was a mysterious error which popped up every time I ran startx
, namely:
fatal server error: caught signal 10.
server aborting.
Yuk! So how did I fix this? The answer is simple: I simply commented out the following line in the /etc/xorg.conf
file:
Section "Module"
...
#Load "glx"
...
EndSection
Seems to be something wrong with the OpenGL file included with the FreeBSD NVidia driver I downloaded and installed. I'll have to deal with this at a later time if ever.
