Hi,
First thanks for all your efforts in providing a free operating system =
for so many platforms.
I have tried to install for the first time 4.8 on an IBM PL300 with a =
TFT monitor (IBM 9493) also on a compaq 4000 with IBM G74 monitor. the =
former machine has a video card Number 9 which works under Linux XF86 =
3.3.6 and 4.2.1 with the savage driver and the latter a matrox millenium =
which works under the mga driver in Linux. For some reason, using the =
same video/monitor settings as I have for both machines using several =
linux version I get a setup of XF86 failure during the installation of =
FreeBSD this occurs for all variations including using standard VGA for =
both and vesa.
The graphical setup seems to find settings to provide a display though!
Any advice or suggestions would be most welcome.
My best regards to all=20
