I have been unable to find an answer to this in the docs/FAQ/etc. so I am posting here. I am using an ATI Expert 128 video card (Rage 128 GL chip, 16MB ram). In in X setup utility, I chose the ATI Rage 128 (Generic) card option. Also, I selected the WindowMaker window manager during install. When I run startx, things seem to come up ok. But, I seem to get odd looking display 'defects'. Groups of vertical lines appear in different places. Also, the font is not visible at all. The window borders, etc. appear ok as well as the icons (with some defects in the icons as well). I've tried switching to different video modes, but it always happens. Any ideas? ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
