The XF86Config is attached for reference. I am using FreeBSD 5.3 and trying to
install XFree86 4.4. I currently am running XFree86 4.3 (so I can write this
email :)
The attached file works and has worked with 4.0 - 4.3 of XFree86. On 4.4
starting xdm yields a black screen with no errors logged to
/var/log/XFree86.0.log. xdm starts and can be canceled.
The hardware is a Dell Inspiron 7500 circa 10/99. The problem seems to track the
ATI Rage Mobility card as another FreeBSD user with the same card on an IBM
ThinkPad is having the same symptoms.
>From pciconf -lv:
agp0@pci0:0:0: class=0x060000 card=0x00000000 chip=0x71908086 rev=0x03 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Intel Corporation'
device = '82443BX/ZX 440BX/ZX CPU to PCI Bridge (AGP Implemented)'
class = bridge
subclass = HOST-PCI
:
none3@pci1:0:0: class=0x030000 card=0x009e1028 chip=0x4c4d1002 rev=0x64 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'ATI Technologies'
device = '01541014 Rage P/M Mobility AGP 2x'
class = display
subclass = VGA
Is this a know problem? I could not find it in the active bug list. Any work
around-s?
Thanks for any ideas
