I installed the XFree86 package using pkg_add. The PC in question is an emachine with a i810 video card. The gimme config file from doing: XFree86 -configure works, albeit only at 640x480 and uses the vga driver. Attempting to use the i810 driver yields a varity of errors. I have tried all the "standard" stuff, ie using xf86cfg, and xf86config putting in the proper settings. I have also tried using the vesa driver and some of the options that were suggested in a thread on i810. And yes I have loaded agp.ko. Not doing that actually gives a clear enough error. Most of the things I tried with the i810 driver gave an illegal instruction error. With the vga driver all the modes say "insufficient memory for mode" at all depths. The vga drive seems to recognize 256k on the card. Of course with win2k it works up to 1280x1024. My question is does anyone have with working on an emachine with an eView17f monitor? If so, could I try your config file? Because I have not been able to get 4.2 working on any of the systems I have free (old or wierd hardware), I have been hesitant to break any "working" workstations that are running 4.0.2. Are there any "gotchas" going from 4.0.2 --> 4.2 (assuming the base works)? Thanks for any thougths and/or help _____ Douglas Denault doug@safeport.com Voice: 301-469-8766 Fax: 301-469-0601 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
