It can mean two things: a. the FireGL does not have a VESA compliant bios (or none at all) and that is strange as a friend of mine got his PCI (???) FireGL card working with the splash boot screen. b. it is an AGP/splash `compatibility' problem. Clues anyone ? Regards, Ruben p.s. the other weird thing is that I was even unable to change the console to e.g. 80x60 with vidcontrol :P -- Ruben van Staveren - PGP public key on request - ruben@luna.net U'nix, because I'm worth it _ // You too ? - Luna Internet Services +31-(0)10.243.1988 \X/ Postbus 28013 3003 KA Rotterdam NL echo `echo "xiun"|tr nu oc|sed 'sx\([sx]\)\([xoi]\)x un\2\1 is xg'`ol To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
