I run Windows 98 on the first partition (dev/ad0s) and FreeBSD on the second (dev/ad0s2*). Could it be a version problem ? XFree 4.0.1 and FreeBSD 5.0 (current) is what I have. It could also be the X graphic card driver. This question goes to the original poster: dO You see the same behaviour after X11 on Linux and rebooting ? Which versions of XFree are You running ?
