Hmm... I don't see your chipset listed anywhere here, but recent XFree86 releases have support for several SiS chipsets. I have a: (--) SVGA: chipset: sis6326 (--) SVGA: videoram: 4096k in this machine, and it just started being usable in 3.3.6. In 3.3.5, it only worked in 24 bpp, there was no text display in other modes. It's still a little buggy, but it works reasonably well. From README.SiS in 3.3.6: 2. Supported chips SiS 86c201 (External hardware clock) SiS 86c202, SiS 86c2x5, SiS 5597/5598, SiS 6326, SiS 530, SiS 620 (Internal clock synthesizer) The above are supported by the SVGA server, however, If your chip really is a 85c503, I'm not sure where you look next. Perhaps try a more recent XFree86 SVGA server. Later...... To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
