Well, it works on Windows, so it might just need some workaround if the timings are the issue here. I will try to give it a go under Linux this weekend, to see if this is a XFree86 or a OS issue. > So far the only problem I have is that the UDMA on the hard drive is not > enabled and I'm getting 3MB instead of 20MB off the disk (the bios indicates > UDMA mode 6 is enabled - ata133 7200rpm maxtor drive). I have no problem with that, but both my drives are UDMA100 only (Seagate Barracuda and a slightly sick IBM DTLA). What version of FreeBSD are you running? Have you tried doing atacontrol mode 0 udma133 udma133 or: atacontrol mode 0 udma100 udma100 but you have to have a recent system to have atacontrol (-STABLE, i think?) Try to post your dmesg to see what the problem is. Regards, Gabriel ps - And do you have any audio problems, btw?
