Curious if I had no problems because this card is PCI or because it is 3dfx ? Btw I think you can apply the patch with the patch program... ||From owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Sun Jun 2 22:52:51 2002 ||Hi, || I just installed FreeBSD RELEASE 4.5 on my new Athalon. It is an XP 1700 ||on an Asus A7V333 motherboard. It has 512MB of ram and a ~40gb partition on ||a ~80gb drive. It has a Riva TNT2 32MB AGP video card. FreeBSD appears to ||work fine, but I can't get XFree86 to work. Whenever I run ||'XFree86 -configure' my system reboots. Also, if I configure XFree86 with ||xf86config and the run XWrapper-4, my system does the ||same thing (reboots). When I run xf86config I select the Riva TNT2 video ||card and verified that it was using the 'nv' server. ||I have tried the binary distribution of XFree86 4.2.0 on xfree86.org aswell ||as the x11/XFree86-4 port. They both cause the same behavior. When the ||system gets done rebooting I do not have an XFree86 log file in /var/log. ||I understand that disabling MTRRs can help, and that it can be done with ||this patch: (http://people.freebsd.org/~jhb/patches/mtrr.patch) compliments ||of John Baldwin's. ||However, I have no idea where the patch goes. Does the patch go in the ||XFree86 code, or the FreeBSD kernel code? Is this patch going to be included ||in future releases of FreeBSD? ||Thank You for any assistance that you can provide. ||-Tabor Kelly To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
