If I replace the cirrus driver statement in the xorg.conf file with vesa, to use the vesa driver, then X comes up. However, using the vesa driver the screen is garbled on return to textmode after exiting X. Issuing the command vidcontrol 80x25 does not reset the screen. The same problem happened with this video card in a completely different machine, different processor and motherboard, running the same version of FreeBSD and xorg. Replacing this video card with a trident AGP video card and reconfiguring X to use the trident works fine. I also checked this driver with a PCI Cirrus card using a CL-GD5446BV-HC-B card and that works fine as well. I tried changing BIOS settings related to the card (video bios cacheable yes/no, etc.) with no change. The output of /var/log/Xorg.0.log shows the server stops right here: >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
