I've got a 3dfx Voodoo Banshee. And whenever i try to run xf86 with the SVGA server (like i'm supposed to do) it runs, however I have nasty streaks on the edges of all my windows. As well, if i resize a window often the contents become garbled. If i quit xf86 and go back to text mode the text there is garbled as well. The VGA16 server works fine, however who wants to run that? I've heard of other people having this same problem, but everyone i've asked has since switched to linux. I did not have this problem in linux, and as far as I can tell i'm using the same configuration. The Voodoo Banshee is supported as far back as 3.3.4, but i've only tried it with 3.3.6 and 4.0. I've tried compiling 4.0 from source, and that gave the same problems, and the card isn't even listed in database. When i tried upgrading by binaries, it worked, and had slightly less problems. Here's a list of my hardware : pII-400, 96mb of ram 3dfx Voodoo Banshee onboard es1371 sound cheap-o pci ethernet controller, and a isa 33.6 modem (USR i think) Thanks, Scott To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
