Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Howdy, I installed FreeBSD and XFree86 on a computer with a SiS5597 video chip a while ago, and it worked fine. Recently I had to wipe that computer and reinstall FreeBSD. However, when I setup XFree86 and start it, I get a window that has blocks instead of fonts. :( The pop-up window for twm has a title that is correct, and the items on the menu show up until I scroll the pointer over them, and then they are replaced with blank blocks. Anybody have any ideas why this video chip is being so difficult? Any help would be great! Thanks!!
