I installed XFree86 4.2.0 on my system as part of the general FreeBSD 4.6 distribution. In accordance with the new way of doing things, I generated a new XF86Config file using XFree86 -configure. This ran without complaint and produced a file that correctly identified my ATI Rage Pro 128 card and my Neovo S17 LCD display. When I ran XFree86 -xf86config XF86Config.new, the server came right up and did not exit. However, the display blanked and produced a blinking message, "Signal out of range." Repeated presses of CTL-ALT-+ to cycle to new resolutions resulted in the same message being generated after each resynch attempt. I tried adding the horizontal and vertical frequency ranges from the old, XFree86 3.x XF86Config file, with the same result. I even modified the old config file to make it acceptable to the new server, with the same result. It's a little difficult for me to move things to and from that machine right now, but I thought I'd send out this plea to see if anyone knows right off what this might be. I'm at a loss as to what to attempt next (except restoring XFree86 3.x from backup). If anybody wants log files, etc., let me know, and I'll shift them to someplace from which I can mail them off.
