What does it mean exactly? Problems with sound, problems with graphics =20
(no display at all), or both? Can you please check in the sysctl's =20
related to sound for a mmap or linux related sysctl and set it to "1"?

Have you updated FreeBSD at the same time (as in "before the last use =20
of flash and the update of firefox")?

Please keep it on RELENG_6. I merged some changes from -current and it =20
would be nice if you could check if the problem is not because of =20
those changes.

If you have changed FreeBSD, and if it worked before, it would be nice =20
if you could go back on RELENG_6 and try to nail down a commit which =20
caused this problem.

Bye,
Alexander.
