The system has a built in ATI Mach64 VT which can not be disabled in any way from a system/hardware level. I have a PCI ATI Mach64 GX, which gives me considerably higher video performance. When I add the GX to the system, the bootup messages tell me that the VT is assigned vga0 and the GX is vga1. The ATI Mach64 GX works fine until I execute X. On 'xinit', I receive messages from the X Mach64 video server telling me what display profiles have been deleted due to monitor/video card restraints as is usual, then is simply stops. There is no further disk activity, and after waiting an hour, nothing has changed. Only the last messages from X are on the screen. When I unplug the external card, and re-configure X, it runs fine. If I plug the video card into another FreeBSD machine that does not have another video card, X runs fine. Is there any way to disable that first video card in the kernel configuration? (I do run a custom kernel, no trix) Any other fixes that I can make? Am I running down a long endless trail? :) Here is the dmesg. ---------Snip Snip-------- Probing for devices on PCI bus 0: chip0: rev 0x01 on pci0.0.0 chip1: rev 0x00 on pci0.7.0 ide_pci0: rev 0x00 on pci0.7.1 vga0: rev 0x08 int a irq 255 on pci0.8.0 xl0: <3Com 3c905B-TX Fast Etherlink XL> rev 0x24 int a irq 11 on pci0.17.0 xl0: Ethernet address: 00:10:4b:79:11:5c xl0: autoneg complete, link status good (half-duplex, 10Mbps) vga1: rev 0x00 on pci0.19.0 ---------Snip Snip-------- Any ideas?
