I just got through purchasing and putting together my system, which I usually do only every few years, and it has a Matrox G100 Productiva card with 8 megs on it. When I tried to bring up the SVGA X server, it seems no matter what I do or tell it about my system, it complains about my "unrecognized" video card and immediately proceeds to assume that I have only 64k of video RAM - nothing I've found seems to override its "automatic" disgust! Also, isn't there supposed to be some "on-line" assistance for X server, some man pages or something? I can't find anything. I don't want to get another card until I know this one CANNOT be made to work by enabling some simple "escape" option. Thank you in advance! - - Jeff Lawton To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
