Hmm, I run a Dual P6/200 with a S3 ViRGE/DX 4MB on -current and the 3.3.2 XF86_S3V server. I see no problems, but I don't use xdm that often, but I have used it and it worked flawlessly.... If it matters my ViRGE card is an "ExpertColor" one with EDO RAM.... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Søren Schmidt (sos@FreeBSD.org) FreeBSD Core Team Even more code to hack -- will it ever end ..
