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
