It's not likely that the system is hanging; it's probably just not responding (which doesn't make a difference unless you can telnet in on a network). If it's blinking, you can give the three-finger salute to reboot between X starts. Try using XF86Setup and instead of selecting a card, just choose "detailed setup" and simply tell it to use the S3 driver. hawk To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
