Which is really pesky since XFree86 will work on the ATI fine, we just need a way of having syscons attach the display but not use it so XFree86 can nab it later. I see that the creator code handles the case where its not the chosen console; I wonder if some shim driver that goes through the motions but doesn't implement any of the fb functions might work. It'd be a nasty hack since you'd have no text console at all, but if you start xdm during the boot then a graphical login should come up. At least the libraries compile so you can run xdm and get in remotely. Not optimal with stuff like kde but that means I can use it to test libkse. -- Doug White | FreeBSD: The Power to Serve dwhite@gumbysoft.com | www.FreeBSD.org
