I have installed FreeBSD 7.2 amd64 RC2 .
The related message is as follows :

When steps described in the section 5.4.2 of page

http://www.freebsdgr.org/handbook-mine/x-config.html

it is not possible to start X :

# xorgcfg
    xorgcfg : command not found

# xorgconfig
   xorgconfig : command not found

# Xorg -configure

# Xorg -config xorg.conf.new

Fatal server error : caught signal 11 . server aborting

# Xorg -config xorg.conf.new -retro

Fatal server error : caught signal 11 . server aborting

# startx

Fatal server error : caught signal 11 . server aborting

In the Handbook , there is no any section dealing with such a case .

(3)
In the same machine Solaris 10 , OpenSolaris , CentOS 5.3 , Windows XP Home
is working .
This is the first time I encountered this X11 problem with FreeBSD 7.2 amd64
RC2 .


Thank you very much .
