up to 256 MB shared memory )
Dmesg recognized it as vga0 : < Generic ISA VGA >
sc0 : VGA < 16
virtual consoles , ... >
vgapci0 : <
VGA-compatible display >
Monitor : Philips 109B6 ( max resolution : 1920 x 1440 , advised resolution

After installation , I have included into rc.conf
gnome_enable=?YES?
After reboot , it gave error dbus_enabled=?YES? is not specified in rc.conf
I included this also in rc.conf , and rebooted .
Gnome could not be started due to Xorg exited on signal 6 error .
I tried xorgconfig -textmode
but xorgconfig is not available in release 7.2 RC2 .
I tried Xorg -configure
and X -config /root/xorg.config.new
it exited with signal 11 .
startx : Not working .
Thank you very much .

I have installed Solaris 10 ( 2008-10 ) . It booted and installed in GUI mode and worked . Then , I have installed FreeBSD 7.2 amd64 RC1 onto the same disk by erasing existing OS . 7.2 amd64 RC! exactly behaved like 7.2 amd64 RC2 . Then , onto the same disk I have installed FreeBSD 7.1 amd64 Release by erasing existing 7.2 amd64 RC1 . I have applied the same steps to make X11 to work . # xorgcfg xorgcfg : Command not found . # xorgconfig It started but I discontinued it . # Xorg -configure # X -config xorg.conf.new Worked . # cp xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf Then I have added to /etc/rc.conf gnome_enable=?YES? After reboot it worked , but very slowly . It detected screen resolution as 1856 x 1392 at 61 Hz with a very nice and clearly readable font . After a new reboot , it worked very well . Conclusion : There is a difference between 7.1 amd64 Release and ( 7.2 amd64 RC1 and RC2 ) behaving differently on the same PC . Error message with Signal 11 is not related to possible hardware failure . The main board is the following : ( Asus P5VD2-VM ) http://www.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=2sYAtam7ng8vCngf I do not know whether such messages are useful or unnecessary , but my aim is to contribute to testing of a release candidate .> > > > >> >> Thank you very much . >> >> >> Mehmet Erol Sanliturk >> >>
