Dear developers and users of FreeBSD. I have very big difficulties configuring XFree86 with Diamond Viper VLB video-card on a 486-machine. Could you advise who can I ask about it? Thank you in advance. Sincerely, Alex Prikhod'ko. P.S.: Below I place a message of the same content that I sent earlier to freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org Dear developers of FreeBSD. Installing FreeBSD on 486-computer (VLB/ISA motherboard, 32M RAM, IDE HDD) with "Diamond Viper VLB" card I encountered strange difficulties configuring XServer. First, while making installation I trie to run the graphical utility XF86Setup and the system die, I see only a white rectangle on the screen. By the way, the same happens when I try to use VGA16-server. Further, I launch the text utility xf86config which asks, after usual questions, the type of the video card and propose to use the P9000-server, and this is quite reasonable. But when I try to start XServer I see black screen and, as it seems to me, the system does not try to launch KDE. Though, in contrast to the situation described above, server respond properly to Ctrl-Alt-Del. Generally, is it possible to run SVGA-server (as I do on a Pentium machine with Viper-550) with such a video card using some "generic" device? Note that earlier I had no troubles with my Viper running Windows, though FreeBSD is much more appropriate to this machine. I would be much obliged if you help me understand how to overcome this problem. Sincerely, Alexander Prikhod'ko.
