I have a Compaq Deskpro EN with an 815 - at least there's a chip on the motherboard near the vga connector that has "Intel 815 FW82815" printed on it. I have FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE installed, along with XFree86 4.2.0. I read somewhere that I need to put agp_load="YES" in /boot/loader.conf, so I've done that, and agp.ko shows up in kldstat. When I run XFree86 -configure, the screen goes blank & that's it. The system doesn't seem to be locked up - at least the keyboard LEDs still turn on & off. But ctrl-alt-bksp doesn't return me to the console, and neither does ctrl-alt-F1. All I can do at that point is power cycle. However, when the system comes back up , there's a XF86Config.new file in /root. If I try to use it though, the screen just goes blank again. xf86cfg doesn't work either, the screen just goes blank, same as with XFree86 -configure. If I use xf86config, I don't find the 815 in the card database, and I haven't a clue what I might pick otherwise that would work. What's _really_ annoying about this is that I had Linux installed on this machine a few months ago and that installed, configured, & worked just fine. I did not anticipate any problems getting XF86 & FreeBSD working. And no, going back to Linux is not an acceptable solution. I can't imagine that this system configuration is all that rare, so someone out there must have one that's working. I'm probably just missing something obvious. So does anyone know how to get this to work? Thanks, Denver To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-config" in the body of the messagehome | help
