The only easy way to test that would be to swap in another video board, but people rarely have extras. You also mentioned upgrading from 7.x to 8.1. It's worth running pkg_libchk from sysutils/bsdadminscripts to make sure nothing was missed. Back to the xorg.conf... Adding Option "Log" "Sync" to ServerLayout may help preserve the Xorg.0.log file. Untested by me so far, but shouldn't hurt. > I'll repost the xorg.conf here > > Section "ServerLayout" > Identifier "Layout0" > Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 > InputDevice "Tastatur" "CoreKeyboard" > InputDevice "Mus" "CorePointer" > Option "AllowEmptyInput" "off" > EndSection AllowEmptyInput (and fire) bad! Use AutoAddDevices Off instead. (http://www.wonkity.com/~wblock/docs/html/aei.html) > Section "Files" > EndSection Looks wrong, but works here.

That may actually be slower than 24, depending on how the card is built. Should still work, though it's worth commenting out in both places for testing. > Section "DRI" > Mode 0666 > EndSection Should not cause a problem, although I use 0660. My full xorg.conf for the X1650 is here: http://wonkity.com/~wblock/radeon/x1650/xorg.conf
