I just installed FBSD 4.6.1RC2 on an Intel i810e based system (HP e-pc) and ran into a little snag setting up X11. During the install, on the "Configure XFree86 Server" step (post installation configuration), I tried to set up the X server. Running XF86Setup hung the machine to where it had to be powered off. None of the configuration mods (rc.conf, etc.) had been written out and were lost. I was able to boot the system, and following the steps listed in the handbook for the i810 was able to get X up and running. It might be a good idea to put some kind of warning in the installation tool, or even something that would ask if you have an i810 and kld_load the agp.ko and make the agpgart device file if you do. Okay, maybe this isn't appropriate for 4.6.1, but something like this should definitely go into -STABLE at some point. -jan- -- Jan L.
