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!

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