What they said about excluding >memory in the config.sys does not apply to FreeBSD. FreeBSD >leaves the memory below 1MB alone (at least it doesn't interfere >with it in such an unpleasant way as EMM386 would do). If FreeBSD leaves memory below 1MB alone, then this is not the source of the problem. The card is a Diamond Stealth 32. The dot clock problem has been taken care of with the freq program. But recent postings to this group noted a number of other people having similar problems using the SVGA server. I'm using the _W32 server now and still have this problem. The Stealth 32 has an et4000w32p chip. >What does dmesg give? I don't know what kind of a message to ask about that would be relevant to this problem-- Annelise
