Message-ID: <20020717141622.O21356-100000@blues.jpj.net> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Folks, Due to the untimely death of my previous Vaio, I have a R505E with the Intel 830MG chipset. I'm trying to get X configured on it, and have not yet been successful. If I load the agp kernel module, I never do get a vga device, which makes everything else problematic. Trying to config X from sysinstall causes a coredump. If I use the curses-based config tool, I get a config file, but never get graphics. The log of a startx is at http://www.jpj.net/~benh/XFree86.0.log A search of the web uncovered a message to the Xpert list in Feb of 2002 indicating that the i830MG chipset wasn't supported under FreeBSD, and that some hacking on agpgart would be necessary to make it work. Does anyone know if progress on this has been made, or am I SOL for the time being?
