My hardware is AST Premium, 386/33, 8Mbytes RAM, 85M (IDE), 425M (SCSI). A big problem (I think) is I do not know any details of the SVGA, it is built in on the mother board and none of the docs tell me what clock rate etc it supports. I've looked all over as much of the mother board as I can see without removing the power supply for the crystal but nothing obvious has turned up. There is a 66MHz crystal on the processor board (this is 'cupid' architecture, upgradeable cpu/memory board) - but I don't think this has anything to do with the SVGA. I have the VDU info (bandwidth 45M), horizontal, vertical scan frequencies etc. Also I don't know about memory (for the SVGA) so I do no know how to set up Xconfig correctly . Lastly, I have an ms mouse that connects to the PS/2 type interface, not the com1 or com2 ports. Does 386bsd have a device driver for this interface ? Many thanks for reading this. Alan Greer
