Description Haoyuan Li 2006-10-23 19:50:14 UTC
It seems that in the default kernel of 6.2 BETA2 some 7 CURRENT features have been introduced. The X.org installed from packages-6.2-release is refused with error of KDSETMODE and KD_GRAPHICS failure. Please check the kernel setting or related ports packages.

How-To-Repeat: # X [Enter]

Please post an exact transcript of the error, instead of an overview.

State Changed
From-To: open->closed

Recompile and reinstall the kernel solved the problem.
Comment 4 Haoyuan Li 2006-10-24 09:04:35 UTC
Hi,

Problem resolved by updating the kernel to latest source.

cvsup the src to RELENG_6
make buildkernel & make installkernel (default GENERIC kernel options)
restart the machine
all goes OK.

By the way, I don't think this is a graphic hardware problem, according to the
follwoing link:

Greetings
