Date: Sat, 23 Sep 2000 13:28:05 -0400 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I have FreeBSD installed on an 133 Pentium (Compaq Deskpro 4000) with both built-in (factory) video and a Jaton Video-107PCI card installed. This is not merely an Xfree86 issue. I am having display problems from the command-line shell. For example, the screen saver does not work. After the specified time of inactivity, it clicks, the monitor reports a signal error, it clicks again, and the screen goes black. When I run SuperProbe it says: First Video Super-VGA Chipset: Trident GUI 9420 Port Probed Memory: 256 Kbytes RAMDAC: Trident Built-In 15/16/24-bit DAC (with 6-bit wide lookup tables (or in 6-bit mode)) This has me a bit confused. This computer, upon start-up, has only starting announcing that it has a "Trident 3D Display" since I added the Jaton card, and Windows has previously labeled the built-in (factory) video as Cirrus (8514?? I don't have Windows running in front of me). So this would lead me to believe to believe that the above is a description of the Jaton card. However, the Jaton card is 8M not 256K. I've tried setting SuperProbe to -no_bios, but it didn't make any difference. Any ideas?? On a related note, where can I go for information on how to edit the CMOS in order to completely disable hardware I'm not using?? Is there BIOS editing software for either MS-DOS or FreeBSD?? I've tried several key combinations upon start-up, but nothing I tried has worked. THANX!!
