I'm using a diamond viper with an nvidia chipset; at least it uses the nv driver for X. Forcing it to vga doesn't' help. > I guess some suggestions would be to make sure that your securelevel > isn't set to anything higher than -1 and that you've got SVGALib > set up correctly in /usr/local/etc/vga/libvga.config. Nope, kern.securelevel is -1. I suspect the rest is correct, as the vgatest program that the port doesn't install gives me a choice of video modes and asks me to choose one. It errors out after I do that. Willem van Engen <wvengen@stack.nl> types: > You need to have a free tty to run it. And it doesn't work here on my= > laptop when using a ttyvX>ttyvc.

So I run it as root, and get "Must be owner of the tty". Changing things so root owns both the ttyv I'm logged in on and the "free" ttyv gives me a core dump. Is it possible that having X running at the same time is part of the problem? =09Thanx, =09<mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org>=09=09=09http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more inform= ation.
