Anyone had this problem ?? > I am using XFree86 3.3.6 from the standard FreeBSD distribution. Go into your config, and disable all acceleration. If this fixes you, enable acceleration one at a time, until it breaks again; disable that one, and go on to the next, until you have all non-broken aceleration enabled. You are probably running a slightly newer chip, and trying to do it with the older driver (e.g. you aren't running XFree86 4.x).
