I just installed freebsd for the first time. I'm having some
trouble getting X to work. This is an old machine -
IBM PS/ValuePoint 433SX/S
At any rate I have looked on the board (the vid card is
integrated into the board) and don't see anything I recognize as
a video card. I tried using the generic card in xf86config but
when I try to run xprobe it can't write the mod lines. When I
try and start X I get -
Modes 640x400
^^^^^^^
Mode name expected
I thought the bios might tell me something but using 'del' 'esc'
'F1' won't get me in. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
kent
