I can't test since I'm away from my FireBee.
Maybe FreeMiNT crashes on exit.
Or you have some accessories which crashes FireTOS, regardless to FreeMiNT.
When I continue to boot, It looks like I get resolution problems.
I never managed to start XaAES from mint.cnf.
I have to use GEM=ROM then run xaloader.prg from the desktop.
The XaAES does not change the resolution, it uses the same as the GEM
desktop.
And because of that I thought a bit more about the video= setting within
Xaaes.cnf.
And I wonder - what do I put in there when I want to have, for example,
2000x2000x32 ?
These are advanced settings.
Please keep in mind that currently, managing to run FreeMiNT, XaAES and
Thing over FireTOS is a feat, this is mainly a matter of slaloming
between bugs and unsupported features.
So currently, don't expect more than getting a usable Thing desktop, if
you are lucky.
Anyway, I know very few about FreeMiNT and XaAES myself.
Jo Even managed to run more things.
Also, loading external modules crashes most of the time. I highly
suspect a cache issue. I can boot safely only without external modules.
However, running xaloader.prg from the GEM desktop (and its .adi
modules) seems to work well.
FreeMiNT for the FireBee is highly a work in progress.
