Hello! This seemms like somethign for this group. I have the above two pieces of equipment - a grand-spanking-new ASUS P55T2P4 with a P133 in it, and a Mach64 GX video card that was in my old motherboard, a SiS 54P. The problem I'm having is that when X exits and goes from graphics (800x600x16) to text mode, FreeBSD panics. The console is dead so I don't have the panic output, but I'm planning on making a serial console kernel so I pick this info up. The machine works fine otherwise, even with both 60ns and (supposedly) 70ns RAM. :) I've pulled out everything (being a NCR SCSI controller, GUS PnP, & a 3Com 3c900) and twiddled varios BIOS settings without any change. I have a pre-CT Mach64 w/ 2MB of DRAM (vs. 2MB VRAM) that I want to try. I'm on X 3.2 using the Mach64 server. Other note -- i can't boot DOS anymore either, it pops up the 'Starting MS-DOS', then the scren goes grey then the display turns off. Odd. :-/ Someone mentioned to me that the ASUS boards have a bad interaction with the mach64 -- can anyone back this up? Thnx for any insight.
