On a G3 iMac. The original poster was talking about a mini-Mac. I should have mentioned that all my testing is also on a mini-Mac. Peter had sent emails to a few of us asking us to test his Xorg-related changes, and in my case they did not work. I could not get the right results from the X-configure step. It would die with: Fatal server error: xf86MapVidMem: could not mmap screen [s=80000,a=90000000] (Invalid argument) That was back on Feb 21st. It may be that he has fixed that problem, as I seem to recall seeing some commit which fixed memory-mapping. But I have not done a buildworld on my mini-Mac for a few few weeks now, so I don't think I have that fix in my system yet. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu
