I've recently installed FreeBSD V2.0 on a 486-66 with an ATI VGA Wonder XL (1Mb) video card and a NEC Multisync 3fge monitor. I've been trying to get XFree86 V3.1 working with the XF86_SVGA server, and haven't had much success; the display shows alternating white/black vertical bars and no tweaking of the parameters seems to change that (the display is very solid). I've tried using the same parameters that worked for XFree86 V2.1.1 and those suggested in the documentation files to no avail... I did search through the archives of this list and checked out the XFree86 FAQ, Newsgroup, and sent Email the mailing list. I've seen several other people post regarding problems with the ATI board, but I've not seen any responses/solutions [well, I *DID* see one response that said basically "I'm having the same problem." but I figure that doesn't count...] Has anyone with a similar configuration solved this problem? Does anyone know what the problem IS???
