I'm happy to say that the 2.1.5 boot floppy saw that I have a CD-ROM. Two observations here: - I had move the drive from IDE2 master to IDE1 slave, per the suggestion often seen in these mailing lists. This made no difference at all when I tried a 2.1 boot floppy. That the 2.1.5 floppy sees my drive surprised me, since it seems I've read here that the atapi code in 2.1.5 isn't really any different than in 2.1. Or is that not correct? - When I actually tried to read anything from the CD, the system rebooted. However, since I don't have a 2.1.5 CD, I was trying to use the 2.1.5 boot floppy to read stuff off the 2.1 CD, so perhaps that is the cause. I'm also happy to say that the installed 2.1.5 system sees (and uses!) my 3C590 ethernet card. During bootup I do see two messages worth noting: >Probing for devices on PCI bus 1: >vx0 <3Com 3c590 EtherLink III PCI> rev 0 int a irq 10 on pci1:8 >utp[*UTP*] address %D >Warning!

To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Date: Thu, 12 Sep 1996 16:26:28 -0700 (PDT) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL25] Content-Type: text Sender: owner-hardware@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I've just recently got a new system for running FreeBSD for Unix work and Win95 for games. Based on the information gathered from various FreeBSD sources, I got a Number Nine Motion 771 video card, since it seemed to be one of the premier choices of FreeBSD'ers. However, I'm having some trouble with it, and I'm not sure where the trouble is coming from, so I'd like any input from those of you who have one, esp. those who are using it both for FreeBSD unix and for Win95 games. The system consists of: an ASUS P55T2P4 motherboard, Pentium 166MHz processor, 32MB RAM, Adaptec 2940U SCSI Controller, Number Nine Motion 771 video card, Creative Labs SB16 (pre PnP) sound card, HP SureStore 2000LP SCSI disk, Toshiba 3701B SCSI CD-ROM, IOmega SCSI ZIP drive, and a Conner 340MB IDE disk. The difficulty I'm having is in Win95 so far (please don't tune me out just yet), since I haven't got XFree86 set up yet. However, I'm worried that the trouble might be indicative of a hardware problem w/ the card or my setup, and not just limited to Win95 (and I'd like to have that work right for games anyway). My trouble is, that although the video card seems to work OK w/ the default drivers that come as part of Win95 (which, by the way, only give you 60Hz refresh -- hard on the eyes! -- and won't give you the 1152x and 1600x resolutions), it doesn't work very well w/ any other drivers. With any other video drivers I've tried -- the Hawkeye95 version 1.something that came w/ the card, the Hawkeye95 version 2.05 from Number nine's web site, or the generic S3 968 driver from S3's website -- the whole system becomes susceptible to hanging! I'll be mousing about, doing a things (usually poping up a menu or something like that), and the system will just freeze. Complete catatonia. No activity, won't respond to anything. This really doesn't sound like proper beahvior to me. I've tried turning the "System: Performance: Graphics" setting all the way to "None" -- that didn't stop the hangs. I tried setting all the BIOS settings to their "slow-but-safe" modes -- that didn't stop the hangs. I tried turning off the video BIOS shadowing -- that didn't stop the hangs. Nothing I do seems to help. Is this indicative of a hardware problem? Software? Setup? (I've tried checking IRQ's, etc, but haven't tried pulling the SB16 out yet.) Or is this just the way it is w/ Motion 771's? (Hard to believe they would have such a sever problem -- it's gotta be something else -- doesn't it?) Can anybody give me any clues/leads to what's going on? Surely, with the Number Nine's being as popular among FreeBSD'ers as they seemed, some of you out there must have Motion 771's and succumbed to the temptation of having a small Win95 partition of to the side to play games on, so would have some experience w/ it's behavior under Win95. _Is_ this typical behavior for a Motion 771? Do I need to: Fix my setup? Get different drivers? Replace the card? Give up on the Motion 771? Give up on Win95? (But my games!) Please, any help would be appreciated.

This really doesn't sound like >proper beahvior to me. I know the default S3 968 driver that came with Windows 95 wasn't very robust. From what I can tell, mainly because these cards *just* came out before Windows 95 did. My Diamond Stealth 64 Video VRAM 3400 (say that three times fast!), which is based on the same S3 968 chip, won't do any higher than 800x600 with the default Windows 95 driver, unless you like looking at this really sickly washed-out effect that gets worse the more stuff you put on the screen. But, with Diamond's GT drivers for the thing, it works really excellent under Win 95. I've used it at 1152x864 24bpp, and even 1280x1024 16bpp. Maybe #9's drivers are buggy... For what it's worth (if you're going to be using Windows), you might investigate just running Windows NT 4.0 (plus FreeBSD, of course). These cards are supported without special drivers, and it's *way* more robust than Windows 95. (On NT 4.0 I can get that card to do the same 1152x864 24bpp, and can go all the way to 1600x1200 16bpp.) Note that even though NT 4.0 has DirectX, it won't run all the games that Win 95 will. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael L.

We ran into some weird problems; it works fine when we just put 64MB EDO RAM, but it got panicked at booting or some other random time when we put more than 64MB EDO RAM. We followed the manual and changed its jumper setting, added one more 32K X 8K SRAM; we changed the Award BIOS to make it able to recongnize the memory up to 512MB; we added an option so it'll work with 128MB RAM. Any idea? Thanks a bunch!

I'm not sure I followed everything you just tried to say. However, have you tested the memory by itself to make sure you don't have a bad chip? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael L.
