Firstly let me thank all the wonderful people on this list for trying to help me.  Unfortunately , my problem persists....I tried all the stuff suggested including loading the agpgart module thru a startup script and a kldload agp.ko ....nothing worked. All I have is a blank screen and after that I have to cycle the power. One guy sent me the XF86Config file for his old Dell GX 115 ....but even that didnot work.

Looking for your help on this ........
