The Alpha has the standard PowerStorm 4D10T PCI video card which is a 3DLabs Permedia2 chipset and TI TVP4020C RAMDAC. I have configured XF86Config with the appropriate card description and driver via sysinstall. When I try to start X the system bombs back to SRM and I have to reboot. I have installed RedHat Linux 7.2 w/ X support in the past and it ran X/KDE with no problem so the system will run X. The BSD I am using is the two disk ISO from the FTP site. Thanks for the help!
