Come to think of it, a test case that demonstrates the > modeline problem would be nice. I'm using MGA 2064W on NEC PC-9821Ra333 (Celeron 333MHz with 256MB RAM) with FreeBSD/pc98 8.0-CURRENT. Mga 1.4.7 works well, but 1.9.100 doesn't: at least a few months ago. At that time, I had given up 1.9.100. I'd like to test newer driver. But I have a serious problem with my mga since XFree86 4.x +FreeBSD/pc98 6.0-CURRENT, in short, "restarting X kills the system". FreeBSD/pc98 can easily hungup with just simple steps. 1. Boot FreeBSD/pc98 2. Start X 3. Exit/Quit X server 4. Start X again No operation is necessary on console between step 3 and 4, just type "startx" at step 4, and xdm can also kill the system if it restarts X. No db, no crash dump, no dcons output on serial console, and no kernel nor X messages are recorded. My FreeBSD/pc98 just hungs up. All I can do is just pressing a reset switch on Ra333. :( At least for me, 1.9.100 driver is worth than the system hungup, because it cannot display. Anyway I have to test the latest mga driver to keep my pc98 up-to-date. -- NAKAJI Hiroyuki
