Then, I edited the return statement of has_bwx() from bsd_video.c I built with make world and did a make install. The XFree86 binary was installed and I ran xf86config. I guess with 3.9.18 there is only 1 binary for all drivers/cards? Next, I ran startx and the screen pretended to change video modes, filled up with random color, random characters (garbage), waited 3 seconds, pretended to change modes again, and returned me to a prompt where all I only see about every other character and things are screwy :( Where did I go wrong?
