I've been running my work machine with FreeBSD for sometime now. Now that Xfree 4.2.0 is the system default and that a lot of packages now have this as a dependency - I tried a fresh 4.6 install. When using the console mode Xfree setup tool I'm told that the Savage4 is unsupported? Lookign through my config file I see that it's fallen back to using the VGA driver. The thing is x won't start with this card even using the VGA driver for some reason. I know a co-worker of mine has some flavor of linux installed on a identical machine and that it uses Xfree 4.2.0. He gets X working fine. I don't know what driver he's using and it's currently the weekend here so I won't find out for a couple of days. I tried changing my config file sot hat it uses the 'sis' driver but X bombs out after the 'sis' driver complains that it doesn't support the chipset. I'm a bit stuck here? Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks, PJ http://digital.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo! Digital How To - Get the best out of your PC!
