Kukulies" Message-Id: <199606260742.JAA11095@gilberto.physik.rwth-aachen.de> To: freebsd-questions@freefall.FreeBSD.org Subject: XFree86 (312D/312E) and W32/PCI (nogo) Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk For several weeks I'm trying now and then more or less intensively - this is another approach now after postings to comp.sys.windows.x.i386unix remained fruitless - to find out, why FreeBSD-current (but also 2.1) doesn't work with a brand of W32/PCI-cards we are using here with some P90 systems in conjunction with syscons and XFree86. All I get is a black screen and a totally locked machine which can only be power cycled to re-animate. The Xaccel server works fine. This gradually is becoming urgent since the Xaccel server shows some ill behaviour with the Mentor Graphics software we are running and I would like to compare the Xfree86 server against it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. --Chris Christoph P. U. Kukulies kuku@gil.physik.rwth-aachen.de
