I did get X.org running on 6-STABLE. As you have mentioned, starting X via "X -probeonly" with an Asus SLI motherboard and an NVidia 7800 GTX video card fails multiply; the internal configuration tries and fails to load module "fbdev", meanwhile, the probe of the card dials the contrast of the syscons consoles down to near-zero levels. However, running "Xorg -configure" succeeds where the other fails. All modules are loaded, an x.conf file is written and the contrast is not blown. On my system, the monitor is able to support the highest resolution specified in the configuration file, though the text is unreadably small. Therefore, modulo tuning of the acceptable modes, X is now working on this configuration. Thanks for all your help! Mike O'Brien
