My video card is a XPERT 2000 from ATI it uses the 128 bit graphics chip. I am using Free BSD OS 4.0 and here is my problem. Under X Windows using the SVGA server and using the R128 driver everything works fine. However, fonts in terminal windows or fonts in the title bar of windows and in pop-up windows won't display correctly. Their appearance resembles bar codes and is completely unreadible. I have tried every ATI 128 bit graphics card on the list and it makes no difference, same result occurs. Under Free BSD OS 4.0 I have tried the VGA 16 server to see if the problem occurs in that mode and it simple will not work no matter how I have tried it. Under Free BSD 3.3 VGA 16 X Window server works fine; I can see all the fonts and everything works perfectly. However, there are no 128 bit drivers for ATI cards under BSD 3.3. BSD 3.3 uses X windows version 3.35. BSD 4 uses X Window 3.36. I am utterly frustrated at this point with this problem because I don't know if it's because my graphics card (ATI Xpert 2000) is not directly supported or is it some other problem I am unaware of?
