Hi,
I seem to be having problems with my Xserver on FreeBSD
5.0, running gnome2 and Sawfish.
My Xserver verion is: XFree86-Server-4.2.1_6 XFree86-4 X
server and related programs.
The output for dmesg regarding my video card is:
agp0: <Intel 82810 (i810 GMCH) SVGA controller> mem
0xf0000000-0xf007ffff,0xf4000000-0xf7ffffff irq 5 at device
1.0 on pci0
I am using a ATI rage graphics card, but cannot finf on my
dmesg outut, unless its there and im missing it.
My XF86config file containd the following entries:
Driver "r128"
Identifier "Primary Card"
VendorName "Unknown"
BoardName "ATI Rage 128 (generic)"
#Option "no_accel"
#Option "sw_cursor"
#Option "hw_cursor"
#Option "dac_8_bit"
#Option "dac_6_bit"
My screen display is fine.
Does this info help shed some light on the error I keep
getting about not having shape extentions? (error is
below).
Thx,
radhika

It's all a matter of perspective. You can choose your view by choosing where to stand.
