Hi Please forgive me for reposting. I have included more details this time. I have an IBM ThinkPad A20p. This laptop has an ATi Rage Mobility 128 with 16Meg video ram, and a 15" LCD with video resolution of 1400x1050 32bit color. Case 1: On the same hardware, I have XFree84 4.01 working in Linux (Mandrake 7.1). I have take the same config file and tried in on Fbsd 4.1 and the screen just goes blank. On Linux however, I have Vesa Frame Buffer enabled, with a "vga=" line in lilo.conf. What is the fbsd equivalent of the Vesa Frame Buffer ? Case 2: On linux, I also have the commercial xig X server. It works fine. On fbsd, I run the binary in linux emulation, but it complains it cant find the VT device. Is there a way to create the VT as it would appear under linux on fbsd so I can run the linux commercial X server? I do development under fbsd, and will rather have fbsd on my laptop. Unfortunately I need X as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
