The one of benefits of FreeBSD is stability even with old hardware, 4.4-STABLE runs perfectly with 486SX-25/8Mb RAM/200M HDD/NE2000 NIC and I love it for that :) > It's also possible, for that matter, that your S3 Trio3D is > flaking out, given your experience that building and booting > 4.3-RELEASE didn't fix your problem. No, it still runs as usual with Win95 (dual-boot home computer). Well, now I remember that I used XFree86 3.3.5 with 4.3-RELEASE and 4.1.0 was built with 4.4-RC here. Perhaps, it is partial incompatibility between syscons driver and X 4.1.0. But this is very strange: system runs just fine until I try to use console graphics. It's enough just to switch from X to console, switch here to VESA_800x600, switch back to 80x25 then switch to X and system hangs here, in 80x25 and I cannot even break to kernel debugger. I suspect bugs in syscons' support for X. Eugene Grosbein To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
