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 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
