Folks, I would appreciate any help on the following: I have a Number Nine FX Motion 771 card with 4MB RAM (S3 968 chipset, and IBM 37RGB 524 CF22A RAMDAC), and a ViewSonic 21PS Monitor on a Pentium 166 MHz running FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE. The mouse is Logitech 3-button Bus mouse (this also comes with an additional serial port attachment). I don't know if it is relevant to include this, but here goes: The motherboard is the Iwill P54TSW2 (Mine seems to be ok, but the reports I have from a couple of friends on this MB is not too impressive.... broken serial ports, and IDE controllers and absolutely no support at all from Iwill - Thats in case you were looking for a MB, and had this in mind also). I configured everything in xf86config and have included the file too for reference here. The XF86_SVGA comes up with a 300x320 ?? resolution, but none of the accel servers come up. I have included the errors reported when startx is run (X is ln -s'd to the accel server for the chipset, XF86_S3). If anyone has faced this problem before, or knows how to fix this, I would appreciate a response to this. Thanks in advance. rv bash# uname -a FreeBSD agni.fore.com 2.1.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE #0: Fri Aug 16 23:28:34 1996 bash@agni.fore.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/GENERIC_SB_PS2 i386 bash# startx XFree86 Version 3.1.2 / X Window System (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6001) Operating System: FreeBSD 2.0.5 Configured drivers: S3: accelerated server for S3 graphics adaptors (Patchlevel 0) mmio_928, s3_generic Using syscons driver with X support (version 2.0) (using VT number 7) XF86Config: /home/bash/XF86Config (**) stands for supplied, (--) stands for probed/default values (**) Mouse: type: PS/2, device: /dev/psm0, baudrate: 1200 (**) S3: Graphics device ID: "Number Nine FX Motion 771" (**) S3: Monitor ID: "ViewSonic 21PS" (**) FontPath set to "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/" (**) S3: Unknown RAMDAC type "ibm_rgb52x" *** A configured device found, but display modes could not be resolved.*** Fatal server error: no screens found X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown). bash# cat /etc/XF86Config # File generated by xf86config. # # Copyright (c) 1994 by The XFree86 Project, Inc. # # Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a # copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), # to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation # the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, # and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the # Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: # # The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in # all copies or substantial portions of the Software. # # THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR # IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, # FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT.
