Alright. I know that the Neomagic chipset isn't directly supported with XFree86 but I can't seem to even get the vga server up and running on it. I'm attempting to install 2.2.6 on a NEC Versa 6060 (P166/48Megs) and the XF86Setup util seems to run fine but when I go to "startx" afterwards the machine just freezes (it never goes anywhere...just sits with startx displayed on the screen). It has the Neomagic 128ZV chipset and I'm trying to get it set up so that I can try the XiG X-server which supports the chipset. I'm at a loss as to what is wrong. I have reinstalled twice and also attempted to install on another laptop (P200/64Megs) with the same video adapter. I thought that the mouse was messing it up (PS/2 touchpad...mouse daemon works fine during setup) so I tried to disable but still ran into the same problems. HELP! I really want to get rid of winblows on this laptop (it's the only machine that I _don't_ have running FBSD) but unless I can get X running it's not going to happen. --Ian Ian Clendaniel IT Technition Zeneca Pharmaceuticals FOC1 NW255 x4494 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
