According to http://www.viaarena.com/default.aspx?PageID=3D5&ArticleID=3D68= &P=3D6 the Via User website, on running wins3id.exe .. my MSI KM3M-V Mobo like=20 scanpci -v says .. Has Builton "VIA/S3G UniChrome IGP" Chip ID 7205 / SSven 1462 / SSdev 7061=20 which =3Ds scanpci Output .. It is in hardware location AGP 01/00/0 Either FreeBSD's X.org (and FreeSBIE older Xorg) DO NOT PROPERLY=20 SUPPORT the X.org recommended "via" driver or the driver is broken or=20 the FreeBSD has some serious other native problems. Knoppix 3.4 which=20 uses XFree86_4 drives this chip just fine. When I backed FreeBSD 5.4 down to using XFree86 4 vs using X.org at least I got a screen to paint .. no widgets .. but hires matte. Is there anyone in FreeBSD land who might help or help me fix this? .. I ha= ve another server dying and am confronted with Linux and deserting FreeBSD. I really dont want to do that .. it would approach the pain of losing=20 my kitty. --=20 Ev Batey -- WA6CRE -- efbatey@gmail.com 805 340-6471 http://www.cotdazr.org
