Hello! My system is 4.2-stable (built few days ago) on a Microstar MS 6321 dual celeron motherboard. The kernel has SMP support enabled. Till yesterday I was using successfully a Diamond Fire GL 1000 Pro AGP card with XFree 3.3.idontremember :) Now I've got a new Matrox Millenium G450 32Mb dual head AGP card, but I've got also some weird problems... Under XF 3, using XF86_SVGA as server, my monitor is totally blank (NEC FE750). I'm sure this is not a unsupported-resolution/frequency/scantimes problem, since I've configured X (with XF86Setup) also for 640x480x16 @ 60Hz and it's the same :( (things like chipset mga etc. seems to be ok) So I thought this could be a good moment to upgrade to XFree 4 <g> :-) I've installed the ports under /usr/ports/x11/XFree-4 and x11/wrapper. unfortunately with "xf86cfg" I still have the same problem of blank screen... "xf86cfg -textmode" works. I guess the MGA card is not broken since I tried it also on another PC with Win 2K and it's ok. Someone else experienced this or similar problems ? I tried also some fantasy :) like kldload agp.ko kldload vesa.ko but I think it's not the right way... ;-) More... when I get such a blank screen, I can't use "ctrl-alt-backspace" to brute-force exit XFree ! It's like the keyboard is not working (yes, I configured it and mouse too :) ) Also killing -9 the XFree process from a telnet session does not restore the VGA/Monitor ! I had to power-cycle the whole machine! :-( Please, help! :-| Every hints is very well accepted! :-) Thanks a lot in advance!! -- bye!
