I run it almost exclusively at 1024x768 x [16,24]bpp. It just took a few tries with xf86config to pick the proper high-res monitor and tweak the monitor's sync ranges to only allow for 60Hz video modes. And then I removed the higher refresh range modelines, just to be on the safe side. I found that an XF86Config generated with XF86Setup (or xf86setup?) didn't have the long list of available modelines. Also, the Mach64 server didn't handle the normal DefaultColorDepth option in the config file, so I whipped up a little 'startx' script of my own that runs the real startx with the proper command line options. > > Modem: > > The Winbook drivers page for the XL2 says the modem is an LT WinModem. > > _WinModem_.

Sorry, I've never needed to use a PCMCIA modem under FreeBSD. Way back when I tried (2.2.6-R with PAO) I couldn't get the serial port to work properly and gave up since it wasn't important. Any PCMCIA non-Winmodem modem you find should work just fine. If you want a list of modems that run out-of-the-box, use CVSwep and look at /etc/pccard.conf.sample > > Sound: > > This ESS Maestro is a PCI sound chip, as far as I have been able to figure > > out (my laptop has the same sound chip).

Using the pcm driver ( not the new one, stock 3.2R ) The ESS is not an ES1371. Hence, it doesn't work with stock 3.2R or 3.2R+PAO. > Joseph Scott > joseph.scott@owp.csus.edu > Office Of Water Programs - CSU Sacramento Hey!
