Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello all, I have an Asus F7400 laptop, which has the ATI Rage Pro LT graphics chipset... I cannot get Xfree to work with this card... I have tried some of the Linux XConfig files out there... none of which work... Most of these seem to include a kernel patch also, so can't be applied to Freebsd... I can't see enough of the screen to allow me to log in, and run the vid tune prog... As far as I can tell, after I enter my user ID and password, it goes off and does something for a couple of seconds, then puts me back at the log in prompt. So does anyone know of a fix for this? Is anyone looking at this chipset already? Is support for this chipset likely in Xfree 3.3.3.4? I know it is not mentioned on the xfree site... If not, where do I need to start in creating one?... Put simply, I am a programmer with plenty of commercial Unix experience, but mainly client server programming, and absolutely no X programming knowledge... So is there any information, or clues anyone can point me at that would be relevant? Oh and I am new to FreeBSD... I get the impression I will need to do a lot of digging on this one... cheers Matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
