(If not, back to the drawing board, 'eh? Or to comp.windows.x.i386unix -- they're a better repository for X problems, because I'd wager your problem isn't FreeBSD specific). It sounds vaguely like a problem I was having with a later-version ATI Mach64 card. (No, not the com4 problem.. that appears to have been fixed in the version I'm using). However, I didn't experience the system hang -- I could still abort X using ctrl-alt-escape, some of the time. Sometimes I had to reboot. The solution in my case was to get the latest beta of the X312 server. From the RELNOTES from the 312D beta, "Fixed detection of Trio64V+ cards." My guess is that this should help with your problem. ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/3.1.2D/FreeBSD-3.0.5/X312DS3.tgz -Dave Andersen -- angio@aros.net Complete virtual hosting and business-oriented system administration Internet services.
