Server aborting". There are no other error messages, only the following warning: "RADEON(0): Bad V_BIOS checksum". I tried both FreeBSD 5.1 and 4.8. It worked in FreeBSD 4.8 until I portupgraded everything (I also tried xfree86-4-server-snap). I can get X to start if I use the vga driver instead of the ati driver (but then again, I'd like to use a resolution higher than 320x200 :). Before, I had debian on the notebook and used the experimental XFree 4.3 packages without problems, so I guess it should somehow work... These are the last lines of the XFree86 log file: (II) Setting vga for screen 0.
