On 8.0-current i386 with i845 chipset I gave up on agp and intel driver. I tried vesa and got failed to set mtrr: Invalid argument ^C failed to unset mtrr: No such file or directory # tail -5 /var/log/Xorg.0.log (==) VESA(0): Write-combining range (0x0,0x1000) was already clear (==) VESA(0): Write-combining range (0x0,0x1000) was already clear (==) VESA(0): Write-combining range (0x0,0x1000) was already clear (==) VESA(0): Write-combining range (0x0,0x1000) was already clear (==) VESA(0): Write-combining range (0x0,0x1000) was already clear # the same error was reported earlier: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2009-January/191357.html EA EA eitanadlerlist at gmail.com Sun Jan 25 05:51:26 PST 2009 __________________________________________________________________ In my third attempt to get any form of a working X server I tried the xf86-video-vesa driver.
