Well, I have gotten a bit farther, I nabbed a Diamond Stealth S3/Trio64 card and 'XFree86 -configure' seems to work, except now when I go to test the server, it complains about not being able to load the "fixed" font. Do I need to go into /usr/ports/x11-fonts/ and install like mad? :) Thanks so far, AJ Schroeder -----Original Message----- From: Jan Lentfer [mailto:Jan.Lentfer@web.de] Sent: Tuesday, July 16, 2002 2:27 PM To: Schroeder, Aaron Cc: freebsd-alpha@freebsd.org Subject: Re: XFree86-4.2 on a PWS-500au On Tue, 16 Jul 2002 13:59:22 -0500 "Schroeder, Aaron" <Aaron.Schroeder@qg.com> wrote: > Hello again, > > I got XFree86-4.2 compiled and installed on my system!

I couldn't install a Matrox Millenium II, too. I replaced it with a 3DLabs Oxygen VX1 and it worked straight away.
