When I tried to use depths of 16, 24 or 32, the server barfed saying that the colour mode was not supported for the chipset. For a depth of 8 it may just be that I didn't have an appropriate modeline.

Or is the raw psm device under X? Doesn't seem to make a difference. If I use moused, then the mouse still goes beserk. In a text-mode console, it obbviously doesn't pop up windows all over, but it does make the screen flash and highlight arbitrary pieces of text, so the bug is the same. Can't blame X for this one! regards gram -- Dr Graham Wheeler E-mail: gram@cequrux.com Director, Research and Development WWW: http://www.cequrux.com CEQURUX Technologies Phone: +27(21)423-6065 Firewalls/VPN Specialists Fax: +27(21)424-3656 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
