I am using a trident cyberbalde i7 AGP chip in my laptop, it is not supported by any of the earlier versions. I did get it to work under Linux by installing the binary 4.0.2 from XFree86. Since I prefer BSD I did install the FreeBSD4 binary (running 4.2 stable) of 4.0.2. It installs fine but I can not get the driver to work. I did get it up once, but the mouse was not working. Since I only get a blank screen up. When I run startx I get something about bad display name or something bad mit cookie, guess some security prob. Because I got a graphical screen once I know it works. I actually did a complete re-install out of desparation but never got it to work again. I have 8 virtual terminals, tty8 is off for X. I tried install with X user and user only standard install, no difference. I put tty8 to "on" - nothing. Also ctrl-alt-bs does not kill the not working x-server. What am I doing wrong???
