This can be found in the log file "/var/log/XFree86.0.log". Please report problems to xfree86@xfree86.org. It doesn't seem to work. Most i810 advice that I find on the internet is also in some way inaccurate. Is there any accurate information that can advise me on how to get the i810 video chipset working with X? >How-To-Repeat: Just run the command on an i810 system >Fix: Somewhere, somehow, there must be some accurate information on the i810 video chip and X. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
