howdie

built X 4 from source or using package I'm getting:

<snip>
XFree86 Version 4.2.1 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6600)
Release Date: 3 September 2002
        If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is
        newer than the above date, look for a newer version before
        reporting problems.  (See http://www.XFree86.Org/)
Build Operating System: FreeBSD 5.0-RC i386 [ELF]
Module Loader present
Markers: (--) probed, (**) from config file, (==) default setting,
         (++) from command line, (!!) notice, (II) informational,
         (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.
(==) Log file: "/var/log/XFree86.0.log", Time: Tue Jan 21 11:15:10 2003
(--) Using syscons driver with X support (version 2.0)
(--) using VT number 9


Fatal server error:
xf86EnableIO: Failed to open /dev/io for extended I/O
</snip>

when trying something like XFree86 -config. I trolled xfree86.org, found 1
hit but don't see any response to it.

fresh install of 5.0-RELEASE using Riva 128. Was previously working on
5.0-CURRENT (build of about 2 weeks ago).

/dev/io seems to exist. wrapper is installed. xf86cfg gives same error.

any ideas? pnpinfo gives me "can't get i/o privelege" which doesn't seem
right.

have tried 'hint.acpi.0.disabled=1' with same results. I'd think it was
XFree86 specific initially if it wasn't for the pnpinfo error.

any suggestions appreciated.

Regards
