I've recently been able to pick up a copy of FreeBSD 2.2.5. Upon
post-configuration, I choose graphical interface (x-something-86), the
screen says it may take a while, I click ok, yada yada yada. It first
turns to the grill effect, then a completely white screen, then finally a
black bar moveable by TAB and the arrow keys. I let it stay like this for
about an hour and a half, until I got sick and tired of waiting. Any help?
(I did recieve a screen once with the cursor, but the screen was centered
on the right edge of the computer and I wasn't able to read the message
displayed).

Thanks alot.

Konceptor.

How about some idea of the hardware involved? =-)

Sorry, stupidity overcame.

I'm running a custom-built PC; 233 Mhz PII, 32 MB SDRAM, 15" monitor w/ VGA
(it's one of those no-name monitors), 600 * 800 res, 4.2 gig HD
(I know... I'm working on the hardware; SVGA and more RAM ;^)

Thanx

Have you tried using xf86Config (the shell script) instead of the
graphical configuration tool?
