I'm hoping this isn't too old hat; i looked in the mailing list archives and i found some info which i wasn't sure applied in this case or not. I have a PCI-AV264CT card with is basically an ATI Mach 64 video card combined with a Creative Labs Vibra 16S sound card, which goes on this extended PCI slot on my ASUS motherboard. When i booted 2.1-stable, the video would crap out; i think i read that this was because of conflicts when sio[0-3] were probed. I solved the problem by installing 2.2-SNAP-960612. Now it'll boot, but X won't run with XF86_Mach64; the monitor will go black and i'll be unable to switch between vtys. A copy of the output from startx follows: XFree86 Version 3.1.2 / X Window System (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6001) Operating System: FreeBSD 2.2.0 Configured drivers: Mach64: accelerated server for ATI Mach64 graphics adaptors (Patchlevel 0) Using syscons driver with X support (version 2.0) (using VT number 4) XF86Config: /etc/XF86Config (**) stands for supplied, (--) stands for probed/default values (**) Mouse: type: MouseSystems, device: /dev/mouse, baudrate: 1200 (**) Mach64: Graphics device ID: "ATI Mach 64 + Creative Labs Vibra 16S" (**) Mach64: Monitor ID: "Tatung CM15VDE" (--) Mach64: Mode "1024x768" needs hsync freq of 62.50 kHz.

I had also read that getting the latest beta servers from XFree86 should fix this, but i'm really unwilling to put a beta server on my beta OS unless i "have to" :-\ Apologies if this is more of a general question than a -current specific question. Thanks for any help. rone
