I'll jump into this thread: I just tried a Matrox G450 PCI on FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT/amd64 with xf86-video-mga-1.4.7,1 and it locks up the machine. This card used to work fine for years in VGA mode up to Xorg 6.9 on FreeBSD 5-STABLE/alpha. Then X11 was reorganized and after I managed to get it to compile again, it would lock up the machine. Since I was pretty much the last guy running X11 on alpha, I gave up. Today I tried that card on 8.0-CURRENT/amd64. Without xorg.conf the server complains about a missing fbdev module and quits. X -configure produced a sensible looking xorg.conf, though. With that xorg.conf, the X server proceeds to start and LOCKS UP the entire machine. So I guess it isn't only a problem on the moribound alpha. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber naddy@mips.inka.de
