Well, I have two machines with Trident TGUI9660 video cards.
XFree86 4.2 donīt work with them. I tested FBSD 4.5 + XFree86 4.2
and FBSD 5.0 DP1 + XFree86 4.2 on these machines. All seems to be
fine, but when I start X, the screen goes black and I canīt swicth
back to a text console. It happens using startx, xdm or trying
to reconfigure with xf86cfg.

I installed XF 4.2 from binaries and from source, the result is the
same. One machine has SMP (two processors), Iīm sending to you itīs
XF86Config file. Now Iīm using XF 4.1 again, with FBSD 4.5.

From dmesg:
VESA: v1.2, 2048k memory, flags:0x0, mode table:0xc00c126a (c000126a)
VESA: Trident TGUI96xx

Thanks,

Rossam.
