I can't see bold in my email (ascii only) but I assume you meant this:

Which indeed indicates a problem.

4.7, but on a non-ACPI motherboard.

Can you try disabling ACPI? Maybe the problem goes away then. You can
disable ACPI by adding the line

hint.acpi.0.disabled=3D"1"

to /boot/loader.conf, and rebooting (I haven't actually tried this as I
don't have a -CURRENT machine at hand but it should work).

Hmm I *thought* it was a PCI card but I didn't really see the big fat 'AGP'
in my dmesg at the time. I need to check it at home (it's my home workstati=
on).
I don't see why it would make a difference though.

You don't really need a driver for the card per se, that's only needed for
3d graphics acceleration, but the pci detection message should show
'Matrox MGA G400' somewhere.

BTW, please keep the list in the loop, it may help others with the same
problem.
