Problems encountered with the 1.9.100 version: When leaving X (I'm using Fluxbox wm) going to console mode, and restarting X, my screen mode dimensions would be distorted. It should have returned to 1024x768, but appeared closer to 800x600. I returned to the original xf86-video-mga-1.4.7 and everything seems fine. Not sure if this helps, but figured I would add to the discussion, for-what-its-worth. :-) Other current system info: FreeBSD 6.3-PRERELEASE xorg-7.3_1 I should add that I am using a Matrox G400 pci card, single output, 32MB.
