I launch the gnome GUI, it loads normally, but the mouse and keyboard do not work, that is, it is impossible to do anything. The system hangs and that's it. How to properly configure X, gnome ?

    Register in ee /etc/rc.conf

    hald_enable="YES" dbus_enable="YES"

    And you will be happy.

    Addition:

    Did xorg itself create its own configuration? And another question, if you put it not from the ports, then it is normal and not put, in the first post you were advised to collect from the ports, and this is correct. The only thing I recommend is to do it a little differently.

    If not, then put:

    % cd /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade % make install clean

    Then do.

    $ portinstall -F gnome2

    This is necessary for the system to pump out all the samples. The procedure is long, and if somewhere in the Internet will fall, then pours errors. Therefore, several times (if from the first time all dependencies do not pull out) we run this command. And only after that we start.

    $portinstall gnome2

    All this is necessary only because portinstall does the garbage cleanup after building each port automatically. If the standard make , then after assembly there will be a lot of good stuff that will be cleaned later. And you never know enough screws :). And with binarik it never worked normally. FreeBSD is always ports and ports, for which I respect this system, because this is the nix * concept that some have forgotten about (I won’t start with a finger).

    • If only that! The problem is somewhat different - the gnome does not work, hangs up at boot time, tried, reinstalled and confused ( - Nychos
    • Maybe it's just my problem, but I would like to avoid such trouble ... - Nychos

    • The Unix concept is not raw at all, but something else. - skegg
    • And this is something else as well. - Arni
     cd /usr/ports/x11/gnome2 make config make install clean

      As far as I remember, you need to fix a couple of lines in the X configuration file At the moment, I have no fries with X, so I can’t write right away. If the question is still relevant, write, I will help to understand. I will need two files from you — the config file and the launch log of the x-session.
