I finally got my laptop running with FreeBSD (had to go and dig up a rather ancient PCMCIA card to get it to work, and i still can't get it to ifconfig automatically on boot-up, but that's anbother story and is just a matter of time, i'm sure). But... my joy is tempered by the fact that i still can't get X working. FreeBSD 4.1 off CD, full X-windows installed, Dell Inspiron 7000 with an 8 Meg ATI Mach64 (Rage II Pro). I start up the XF86Config program and my screen goes blank when it tried to start the X Server. Took me a while to realize that it was directing video off to the external port. Function-CRT/LCD does nothing. :-( Can anyone offer me suggestions on how to get X to actually use the LCD screen?
