The vesa driver works okay. I just ran xorgconfig and added Mode and DefaultDepth statements. The driver seems kind of funky in that the screen is scrambled for a second or so and then seems to work okay. Is there a user oriented mailing list for Xorg? I am happy to test a fix for the ati driver. Is there a end-user mailing list for Xorg? I also have some questions about the driver option and modeline calculation. Any ideas where these questions can be asked would be greatly appreciated. I did not in the end try the development snapshot in XFree86 since using XFree86 seems to then require that all X applications be installed as ports. I figure I might have KDE done by Christmas :) On Mon, 18 Oct 2004, Eric Anholt wrote: > On Mon, 2004-10-18 at 12:30, doug@safeport.com wrote: > > Both Xorg and XFree86 4.4 have this problem.
