Xorg segmentation fault

Hello everyone,

I am new to the BSD world, but I am a long-time Linux user. I suppose a good start for my BSD journey would be Ghost BSD, because it comes with MATE out of the box. I tried to install Ghost BSD on an old computer of mine(Intel Core i3 4th gen, 4GB RAM, AMD Radeon HD 4540),but xorg refuses to start. The system apparently tries to run startx, but I am met with some errors saying "

Code: Select all

radeon: Failed to allocate a buffer:
radeon: size 1048576 bytes
radeon: domains 2
radeon: flags 4
(EE) Segmentation fault at address 0xb0
(EE)
Fatal server error:
(EE) Caught signal 11(Segmentation fault) Server aborting.
(11)AIGLX:Suspending AIGLX clients for VT switch
(EE) Server terminated with error (1) Closing log file.
xinit: giving up
xinit: Unable to connect to X server: Connection refused
xinit: server error"
I have a VGA 1024x768 display
Any ideas on how to fix it?

My thanks!

Welcome to GhostBSD! I'm not sure what the error is. What version of GhostBSD are you using? Please try running

cat /var/run/Xorg.0.log

And see if you can find some errors

BTW there's a GhostBSD Telegram channel. You may get help much faster on Telegram.
