I've been experiencing a problem with the above combination on my computer and would like to know if I'm the only one and if there is a solution. I have a P166 w/ 128Mb RAM and the above hardware. When I start up my computer in xdm the initial screen comes up perfectly. I login and if I exit my X-window session I get a screen full of virtical red lines and my console locks up. This also happened to a friend who is running XFree86 3.3.2 with the same card using Linux while I'm using it with FreeBSD 3.0-current. We both are using the XF86_S3V accellerated driver. We both would like to use xdm but this problem doesn't let us. Is this a problem with the driver or the hardware, ie. the S3 ViRGE/DX video card? -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Dennis Tenn * There will always come a time dstenn@fanfic.org * When your love will be tested ICQ# 1457509 * Stand tall and rise to the occasion * For only then will you grow strong. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
