Dunno what might be causing it, though. I had the same problem. I made it go away by turning off all acceleration, and then turning on accelleration options, one by one, until the problem reappeared, and then leaving the three that cuased problems off. It seems that the driver was written for a rev. 2 of the NeoMagic chip, and my laptop actually has rev. 3. Most likely, you will find that turning off all chip-specific options, and then turning on only those which actually reliably work, will fix your problem. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
