There is a project at http://unichrome.sourceforge.net/ updating the VIA display driver. However, the most recent release (unichrome-X-r30.tar.gz) gets a segfault on at least some machines (e.g. mine). Following the advice of their mailing list, I retrieved the most recent file from their CVS repository, and the core dump was fixed! Hurray! Here are the steps I took: 1. cd /usr/ports/x11-servers/xorg-server 2. make deinstall 3. make patch This created a populated source tree into which I could substitute the files from sourceforge. 4. cd work/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers 5. mv via via.bak 6. mkdir via 7. (copy the files from the sourceforge CVS tree into the new via directory) 8. make Makefiles 9. cd ../../../../../../.. 10. make reinstall I now had a working X server. -- George
