Hi all, I've finally gotten hold of a Hercules mono adapter and monitor. It seems to work fine except when I boot FreeBSD and the VGA and MDA cards are both present (BIOS set to MONO). The first few lines of the kernel probe flash and then blank screen, a few seconds lag, and ddb> pops up on the screen (mono). Is this due to the fact that both cards are present, thus creating a conflict (mono being probed as well as vga) ? I haven't tried pulling out the VGA while booting yet. -- Phil PS: If anyone has got this setup working, I'm interested (console on Hercules, and X on VGA).
