Hello, I luckily found the alp_driver.c at the following url: http://wuarchive.wustl.edu/mirrors/NetBSD/NetBSD-current/xsrc/xfree/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/cirrus/alp_driver.c this file has the following date in the header: 2004/01/04 I read at line 714 of this file that : ... "No valid MMIO address in PCI config space\n"); /* 5446 rev A do not use a separate MMIO segment */ /* We do not really need that YET. */ ... This the message I get when I start an X session, see below a part of my /var/log/XFree86.0.log file. And a few lines below of the alp_driver.c file : #if 0 /* Will we ever support MMIO on 5446A or older? */ if (xf86ReturnOptValBool(pCir->Options, OPTION_MMIO, FALSE)) { pCir->UseMMIO = TRUE; from = X_CONFIG; } #endif And I have this old graphic card, and I guess the Vesion of my card is 0: # lspci -v 00:05.0 VGA compatible controller: Cirrus Logic GD 5446 (prog-if 00 [VGA]) Flags: medium devsel Memory at ef000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=16M] Expansion ROM at ffaf0000 [disabled] [size=32K] Did I find my problem ? Can this problem be relied to display problems on my old 14" proview monitor ? There are bad "horizontal vibrations" on the screen, during X sessions, and this is the main problem. The prompt when I type text may have some strange colors. I used another windows system without this problem. Does a newer version exists ? I use XFree86, Version 4.3.0. Otherwise, would it be difficult to solve this problem ?? Cheers, xavier droubay. PS : I use 800x600 resolution with 8 depth.
