Hey...

This is a long one.  I am new at Freebsd and have some questions about a
ppp connection and X window system with a Trident 9685 ProVidia 4MB card
and X 3.3.1.

I am trying to dial into my ISP and editted my ppp.conf file and have
this for the file:

default:
  set device /dev/cuaa1
  set speed 38400
  set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\" ATE1Q0 OK-AT-OK
\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT"
ISP:
  set phone "number"
  set login "TIMEOUT 10 \"\" \"\" login:-\\r-login: username word: pass"

  set timeout 120
  set ifaddr 0 0
  add 0 0 HISADDR

>From then on after I type ppp I get:
# ppp
User process PPP. Written by Toshiharu OHNO.
Using interface: tun0
ppp ON myname>dial ISP
Dial attempt 1 of 1
Phone: number
Dial OK!
ModemDial:  Login Failed

and then I have to quit the ppp.

Am I missing something major or is there some fine tuning just needed?

For my X windows I am using the Trident 9685 ProVidia with 4MB ram and I
use XF86Setup I use a serial mouse, a conservative monitor setting, and
get a server to start.  When I use SuperProbe this is the output:

first video:  Super-VGA
                 Chipset:  Trident ProVidia 9685 (PCI probed)
                 Memory:  2048 Kbytes    (even though I have a 4 MB
card)
                 RAMDAC:  Trident Built-in 15/16/24-bit DAC
                 (with 6-bit wide lookup tables (or in 6-bit mode))

Is there anything wrong with this?

In XF86Setup I specified the SVGA server (which it says it does support
in the readme file) with the tgui96xx chipset.
This is the output I get after I type startx and the server shuts down
(doesnt start):

Sorry, but this is all I can see on the screen!

(--) SVGA:  Using Trident programmable clocks
(**) SVGA:  chipset tgui96xx
(--) SVGA:  videoram:  4096K    (here is does recognize the 4 MB)
(**) SVGA:  Using 8bpp, Depth 8, Color weight:  666
(--) SVGA:  Maximum allowed dot-clock:  135.000 MHz
(**) SVGA:  Mode "640x480":  mode clock = 25.180
(--) SVGA:  There is no mode "320x240" from list of valid modes
(--) SVGA:  Virtual resolution set to 640x480
(--) SVGA:  Generic Speedups selected (flags=0x30)
(--) SVGA:  Using Linear Frame Buffer at 0x0fe800000, Size 4MB
(--) SVGA:  Using Graphics Engine
(--) SVGA:  Using 1024 byte display width
(--) SVGA:  Using XAA (XFree86 Acceleration Architecture)
(--) SVGA:  XAA:  Solid Filled rectangles
(--) SVGA:  XAA:  screen-toscreen copy
(--) SVGA:  XAA:  8x8 pattern fill (not usable)
(--) SVGA:  XAA:  CPU to screen color expansion (bitmap, TE/NonTE
imagetext)
(--) SVGA:  XAA:  Using 8 128x128 areas for pixmap caching
(--) SVGA:  XAA:  Caching tiles and non-transparent stipples
(--) SVGA:  XAA:  General lines and segments

waiting for X server to shut down

Even when I put in the option "noaccel", then the last line is

(--) SVGA:  XAA:  Bypassing XF86 Acceleration Architecture    (or
something like that)

waiting for X server to shut down.



Any suggestions?  Pointers?  Jokes?  I am open to any and all support
and I would really appppppreciate it.
