I have some comments on those, just for your information: I run FreeBSD 2.0 (and its snapshot) and XFree86 3.1.x on my PC. (DX4-100/isa/pci, 3c509, Adaptec 2940, Quantum 1080s, ATI Mach 64, NEC XE17, Combinet CB-160 for ISDN) I tried some some combinations of the 2.0 and the 3.1.x. Some work, others don't: 2.0 + 3.1: working, except no X for ATI Mach64, and not working for 2940+1080s 2.0-950322-SNAP + 3.1: working, except no X for ATI Mach64 but working for 2940+1080s 2.0-950322-SNAP + 3.1.1: cannot make it work for ATI Mach64, even XF_SVGA doesn't work for my ATI Mach64 2.0-950412-SNAP: failed on the installation; stop at "root device changed to sd0a..." Thus so far, only the combination of 2.0-950322 + 3.1 work for me. I cannot fully use the ATI Mach64 card, but use it as a SVGA card. Just try to give you all some feedback. You all just have done a very good job! As a user, I very appreciate it! Ching Shih shih@cithe312.cithep.caltech.edu
