Ok, one last hurdle in regards to Xfree on FreeBSD Alpha...did you use xf86config to setup your X? I ran xf86config and went through the process (just like on x86) but when I "startx" it starts listing a bunch of different resolution settings and says DELETED. Similar to this.. 3DLabs_GLINT = 640x480 8bpp DELETED 3DLabs_GLINT = 800x600 8bpp DELETED 3DLabs_GLINT = 1024x768 8bpp DELETED 3DLabs_GLINT = 640x480 16bpp DELETED 3DLabs_GLINT = 800x600 16bpp DELETED ...you get the idea. Any thoughts? I appreciate any hints or tips.. On x86 I've been using Accelerated-X or the color/menu driven interface for Xfree...not the straight black and white text setup like xf86config uses. Any thoughts on this? I appreciate any help. BTW, my video display device is a Diamond FireGL 1000 (Permedia 1) and which I've tested on this machine (Alpha 255/Avanti) using Linux/Xfree and it worked fine...so I know it has the capability..I just need a kickstart.
