Correct. Keyboard controller probing fails. Linux people worked around it by loading the keyboard driver from a module, not from a kernel. See 'Keyboard Lockup?' from the following link: http://www.plausible.org/r3000z/ Unfortunately, we cannot do that. I am still hunting for the root cause of this problem. > The processor in this machine apparently does not qualify as an > AMD64, as an amd64 kernel will not boot.

FreeBSD/amd64 5.2-CURRENT works with the following config: # Make an SMP-capable kernel by default #options SMP # Symmetric MultiProcessor Kernel # Workarounds for some known-to-be-broken chipsets (nVidia nForce3-Pro150) device atpic # 8259A compatability #options NO_MIXED_MODE # Don't penalize working chipsets > So far, I have not been able to get XFree86 to work.

X.org server works with the following config: Section "Modes" Identifier "16:10" # 1280x800 @ 60.00Hz (GTF) hsync: 49.68kHz; pclk: 83.46MHz ModeLine "1280x800" 83.5 1280 1344 1480 1680 800 801 804 828 EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "WXGA LCD" UseModes "16:10" HorizSync 30-90 VertRefresh 50-75 EndSection This mode line is from the following link: http://www1.uop.edu/~khughes/presario-r3120us/XF86Config-4-alps I heard other modes also worked but I haven't tried. One caveat is it corrupts console screen as you discribed, which is known problem for the open source driver. > I'll be trying the closed source NVidia driver soon to see if this > helps. I had no luck with the nVidia driver. Someone said that he had better luck with the first driver (1.0-3203). http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=108849102600003 Good luck, JK > -- George Mitchell
