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.
