Hmmm, Tried that version and it hung on me again (under 4.3-RELEASE) Are you using the GENERIC kernel? I was not and this is my next test. I also forgot to mention that I have the ATI xpert 128 pci card in the system (with 16MB) of ram. I also get a 'beep' right after I do the 'X -probeonly'. - JimP -- --- @(#) $Id: dot.signature,v 1.10 2001/05/17 23:38:49 Jim.Pirzyk Exp $ __o Jim.Pirzyk@disney.com ------------- pirzyk@freebsd.org _'\<,_ Senior Systems Engineer, Walt Disney Feature Animation (*)/ (*) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
