I am having an interesting problem with X & the i810.  
I followed the handbook procedure pretty much verbatim.
 
The  XFree86 4.1.0 package loads fine.  The agp KLD 
loads fine.  XFree86 --configure generates the 
/root/XF86Config.new file fine and I edit the file to 
set the correct scan rates, modes and depth.

I then run XFree86 --config /root/XF86Config.new.  X 
starts, but instead of the nice grey-grid screen with 
an X cursor, I get a black screen with a big square 
white cursor.  I can move the cursor fine and I can use 
ctrl-alt-bkspace to exit X correctly.  This is the 
behavior regardless of what depth or modes I have in 
the XF86Config; if I do changes the modes, the 
resolution does change (size of cursor grows or 
shrinks), but it is the same black screen, big white 
cursor.  I can reproduce this problem on a FreeBSD 4.3 
or 4.4 system.
 
Any thoughts?

Thanks...
Tim
