In-Reply-To: <199603130116.UAA02728@jbrann> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi all of you there: Thanks for all the replys, although the problem is not solved yet.:-( But this again shows there many warm-heart people on the net.:-) Ok, seems I did not state my problem clearly in previous posting. Sorry for that. Based on what I've learn from readme.cirrus, clgd 5434 with 1M video-ram, 8M RAM should be able to display in 16 bpp mode. I've tried "startx -- -bpp 16" as well as "X -bpp 16", both fails. No, I do not mean the server cannot start, actually the server(graphics screen) did start. People can see the graphics screen, but it keeps flashing, and some part of the screen are duplicated(when I try startx -- -bpp16, I am using fvwm2.0). Some time, even worse, you can see some "colorful" lines keep flashing on the top part of the screen. I've enabled the "option linear" in the config file, but don't know what is the membase. There is not separate video card on my system. So I don't know whether it is connected on pci or isa. But during system bootup, a line like this appears: "vga0 rev 142 int a irq 11 on pci0:8" Any info I've missed? Please email to me. thanks! Regards ----------------------- Gong Wei eng30219@nus.sg
