I had to power-cycle the whole machine! :-( [...] You need the latest beta linux drivers from Matrox: http://www.matrox.com/mga/support/drivers/files/linux_05.cfm They're available as source or binary. Since you've already built X4 you might want to try the binaries. Simply copy mga_drv.o and mga_hal_drv.o to /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers. You may wish to backup the existing mga_drv.o before you do this. Then do 'XFree86 -configure' and that should generate a working config. -- Darren Shepard | dss@orst.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
