Dear kind DragonflyBSD users,
I have managed to install DragonflyBSD 6.0.1 on an old machine with
integrated video on the motherboard.
The machine was running Dragonfly 5.2, but I wanted to upgrade it to
latest. This has resulted in having no X.
the information from pciconf -lv
returns:
vgapci0 at pci0:1:5:0
vendor = 'Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI]'
device = 'RS740 [Radeon 2100]'
class = display
subclass = VGA
The monitor am Acer Monitor which it is connected to supports 1600x900
output as follows:
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1600 x 900, maximum 16384 x 16384
DisplayPort-0 disconnected primary (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
HDMI-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DVI-0 connected 1600x900+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y
axis) 443mm x 249mm
1600x900 60.00*+
1280x800 59.91
1152x864 75.00
1280x720 60.00
1024x768 75.03 70.07 60.00
832x624 74.55
800x600 72.19 75.00 60.32 56.25
640x480 75.00 72.81 66.67 59.94
720x400 70.08
I have installed xfce and when I type startx I get a blank screen, and
pressing CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE does nothing(maybe depracated),
I have to reset machine or turn off holding power button. Any
suggestions as to how to get this working are appreciated.
Best Regards,
Antonio
