Subject:   XFree86 for Asus A7A266 (rev 1.11) + ATI ??
Message-ID:  <20020323155609.A7253@trefle.ens.fr>

I desperately try to have a working XFree86 for:
	Processor: Athlon
	Motherboard: Asus A7A66-E rev. 1.11
	FreeBSD 4.5
	ATI Rage 128 Pro PF

. XFree86 3.3.6 (compiled from sources) fail to find the card.
. it seems that FreeBSD doesn't have any support for a framebuffer?
. XFree86 4.1.0 & 4.2.0 makes the computer reboot.
  I tried http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~eanholt/dri/install.html
  but:

First question:  how do you "portupgrade -rN XFree86-4"?
   I get "XFree86-4 not installed".
Second question: to install "ports/36181", is it just
	cd ...
	patch < the_file_with_36181

  Messages for 4.2.0:

	kernel trap 9 with interrupts disabled
	Fatal trap 9: ge
	Fatal double fault
	eip = 0xc034e68c
	esp = 0xcde40000
	ebp = 0xcde40020
	panic: double fault

  (details in http://www.spi.ens.fr/beig/xfree86.html )

Third question: is there any easy solution?
Except installing Linux (Linux works fine...)
