[ I'm a PC and FreeBSD novice, but fairly experienced Unix user, and lapsed (SVR3, SVR4) kernel hacker ] ----------------------------- My system: Intel Advancel ML (Marl?) motherboard with 133MHz Pentium / 32MB EDO 1.2GB Fujitsu IDE disk : Win95 PCI Adaptec 2940AU id 0: CDC Wren 6 : FreeBSD id 5: Matsushita 4xCDROM id 6: HP-DAT PCI Diamond Stealth 64 DRAM (Win95 says Controller is S3-Vision764, 2MB DRAM) ISA NE2000 Clone Ethernet card ------------------------------ I have installed 2.1.5 from the Walnut Creek CDROM on my system, and cannot get XFree86 3.1.2 running on it; X -probeonly probes the video card and can only find 64K of video RAM, where W*n95 recognises and uses 2MB. Does anyone else use this video card, and have problems? Would it be sensible to grab XFreeBSD 3.2, and try and install it? I notice on an XFreeBSD page about building kernels for X, it mentions: NB. my kernel is the one prepared by Kenneth Chiu, from the 2.1.5-RELEASE kernel code, and Adaptec driver code from the 10/06/96 version.
