Hello. XFree86 4.0.x is... buggy... with my i810. 4.0.2 starts up fine, but after switching consoles, and going back, the video is garbled and I must reboot to fix it. I still have keyboard functionality, since ctrl+alt+del does what it is supposed to, but the video is gone. 4.0.1 is just crashy, and while I was on an xterm-opening craze to see if I really had more than 31 ptys, I got it to garble my video and reboot itself uncleanly. I want to go back to 3.3.6, but I need help with dual head. I think XFree86 3.3.6 supports the i810, even in FreeBSD. In addition to the i810, I have an ATI Xpert 98, which is a Mach64, definitely supported in 3.3.6. Does anybody know how to configure multihead systems with xfree86 3.3.6? Can I still use the screen/server configuration and the "Rightof", "Leftof", et al., or any other method of making two screens behave as one? Xinerama isn't a concern, since my window manager of choice does not support it. -- Andrew Hesford ajh3@chmod.ath.cx To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
