Greetings, In my quest to get a 'real' OS running on my 560X, I've searched the man pages, handbook, FAQ, mailing list archives, 'The Complete FreeBSD', and a score of web sites. After weeks of dedicated effort, I think I'm in the home stretch, but I still have three nagging problems that I can't resolve: 1. I can't use a 640x480 splash screen even with VESA support compiled into the kernel. At boot, I see the VESA module load, but the splash screen display still fails with error 19. Does anyone know whether or not the 560X (NeoMagic Chipset) has VESA support, and what else I might need to do to get it to load the larger bitmap? 2. When I set the device speed for my 28.8 Hayes Optima PCMCIA modem to 28800, I connect to my ISP at 9600 and can surf very slowly. When I set the device speed higher, I get a connect message, but all I see is gibberish in the user-PPP term, so I can't log in. I am using a very generic INIT string, ATE1Q0M0, which may be the problem. Does anyone have an INIT string for the Hayes Optima 28.8 PCMCIA that allows them to actually connect at 28800, or know of some other reason why I might be having this problem? 3. Last but far from least, the 560X does not have an internal CD-ROM, so I have an external Panasonic KXL with a PCMCIA SCSI card. The card seems to be a KME KXLC004. Since the 2 and 3 may work with the ncv0 driver, I wanted to try it with the 4. I tried to compile it into the kernel (I'm using PAO3 by the way), but I don't see it even try to load. Does anyone know what the right driver is for this SCSI card, where I can find it? Well, that's it. Thanks for taking the time to read about my problems, and TIA if you can offer any assistance on solving them.
