I have an unresolved issue with XFree86-4.2.0, -stable, and an ASUS
A7N266-E motherboard with integrated GeForce2 VGA, the nForce chipset.

Sysinstall from the 4.5 subscription CD worked fine.  But, attempting
to start X freezes the system.  The screen flickers one time.  There
is no response to the keyboard.  It does not break into DDB.  There is
no response to the serial keyboard.

#  uname -a
FreeBSD asus 4.5-STABLE FreeBSD 4.5-STABLE #0: Sun Apr 21 11:05:40 PDT 2002 \
     root@asus:/usr/src/sys/compile/ASUS  i386

With patches from Matthew Dodd (winter@jurai.net), the system broke
into DDB.  I provided the output from the serial console to him,
including the output from DDB and the crash dump, 21 Apr 2002 21:43:36
-0700 (PDT).  So far, no resolution.  I still have a copy of the
email.

To get the system operating, I installed an ATI Radeon 7000.

The bottom line, there is a problem with ASUS and integrated GeForce2
VGA's.
