I recently installed FreeBSD 2.1 R on a Pentium 133 with 24 mb of RAM, with a Adaptec 6360 chipset card, with a Seagate Barracuda and a NEC CD-ROM drive (both SCSI). Also in the machine is a Diamond Stealth 32 SE (with the s3 trio chipset), and a SMC network card. The problem is that when you run X, all the fonts have blocks / are blocks. The screen is basically un-readable. Everything else works fine (console, etc). I have tried both the S3 Trio card def and the Diamond Stealh def. I have also tried the vga, svga and s3 servers and have had no joy. Any suggestions ? --- Khetan Gajjar Visit at http://www.iafrica.com/~khetan/ UUNet-Internet Africa Operations help@iafrica.com or 0800-030-002
