PC BSD 9.1 X11 reconfiguration problem
by Martin Chiteri 03 May '13

03 May '13

Hello everyone, Yesternight I accidentally fumbled with the system on my laptop and ended up sending instructions to it so that the graphics configuration wizard started on the next reboot. Right now, I only see the screen that asks if the video driver and other monitor details identified (aspect ratio, resolution and number of pixel depth) identified are correct. They _are_ all correct but the system just goes blank when you ask it to save the fresh configurations. I am stuck now and kind-of too smug to boot into the Windows Seven partition. In any case, none of the tools I need can be found there. I have visited the PC-BSD forums but it seems their servers are "experiencing technical difficulties" at the moment ( try this http://wiki.pcbsd.org/index.php/Display ). Has anyone had a similar problem before and how did she / he get over it? Normally I would restart my machine and go through the whole procedure. This has not worked up to now for me. Thank you. Martin.
