Hi, Well, I resolved my Alpha/FreeBSD/X video issues. I found a PC164LX/533MHz Alpha to replace my PC164/500MHz Alpha. The setup works great with the ATI Rage Pro 8M PCI card I dug up, which wouldn't even wake the monitor from sleep mode on the PC164. I'll probably keep the PC164 around and eventually use it for something. Thanks, Josh On Sat, 26 Oct 2002, Christian Weisgerber wrote: > Jameel Akari <jakari@bithose.com> wrote: > > > > pci0: <Matrox MGA 1024SG/1064SG/1164SG graphics accelerator> at 6.0 irq 0 > > > > Somewhat unrelated, but when I fire up this card in X, there is > > some bizarre distortion of vertical lines and of text inside xterms.
