:I can't find any online specs to tell me if the graphics part of the :Northbridge has understands the VESA stuff. Does the XFree86 "vesa" :driver work? : :Also found this forum discussion... : :http://forums.viaarena.com/messageview.cfm?catid=28&threadid=30617 M 9000 X11 update: The "vga" driver works in low resolution modes. The "vesa" driver does not work. Via has a linux driver on their CD for X, called "via", which linux people seem to be using successfully, but I can't find sources anywhere. I don't understand why these companies don't just include sources for their X drivers, it would make life so much easier. I *think* the EPIA M 9000 is using a variant of the S3 Savage, but if so they have heavily modified the chip. I have had no luck trying to override the chip spec in my X configuration. -- Firewire update. I can't seemlessly connect and disconnect firewire devices, but if I connect the firewire HD up *before* kldload'ing the drivers, it works. -Matt Matthew Dillon <dillon@backplane.com> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
