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.

Thanks!
Mark
