As many might know from the freebsd-stable list, another problem with the i810 exists, namely the server won't start at all. As they discussed, the solution is to add Options "NoDDC" to the i810 "Device" section of XF86Config. Unfortunately, this won't fix the VT problem. You will need to apply my patch and rebuild XFree86 for that. Don't feel bad... I think I rebuilt and reinstalled XFree86 4.1.0 six times trying to track down the problem. If I had only decided much earlier, "Hey, let's look at the 4.0.1 EnterVT and LeaveVT functions to see what could be wrong," I would have saved loads of time. -- Andrew Hesford ajh3@usrlib.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
