This might not be related to your problem but on my Radeon 7000 VE I had to disable DRI in the Modules section of the XF86Config to allow it to work above 15bit Although my error messages where slightly different and my X would lockup rather than error out. Also noted you are using th ati driver. You might want to try the radeon driver as it might be more specific to your card. And what about the svga driver (800x600 max I think) which is my failsafe On Thu, 2003-10-16 at 03:54, Matthias Pirstitz wrote: > Hi all, > > I'm new to FreeBSD, so please bear with me :) > > I have a Fujitsu Amilo-D notebook with a Radeon Mobility M9 card, and > when I try to start X, it crashes with "Caught signal 11.
