I had been running the original XF86 installed by the 4.1-RELEASE CD-ROM. The system istelf has been kept up with 4-STABLE over time. The X server runs just fine; I didn't change any configurations for it. However, when I either exit X, or CTRL-ALT-F1 to go to the primary text console, the text mode switches, but then the monitor reports invalid scan frequency, and the text is smeared horizontally across the screen, flickering and scrolling upwards. I'm using the XF86_Mach64 server, as I was before. Has something changed? Could it be a compiler bug? My make.conf has CPU type set to p3. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Vivek Khera, Ph.D. Khera Communications, Inc.
