Subject: FreeBSD 2.0R -> 2.0.5-SNAP problems.  Maybe someone has a clue for me?

Hello,

recently I fetched 2.0.5-950622-SNAP from a local mirror and
recompiled my kernel.  Works fine with two exceptions:

	1. Mount complains about some partitions `not within
	   the slice' and refuses to mount my DOS partitions.

	2. What's worse, the X server doesn't work at all.

OK, I thought, that wasn't enough, so I recompiled the whole thing.
Btw, `make world' took about 10 and a half hours on my machine.  But
still these problems remain.  I reverted to my trusty 2.0R kernel now,
but I would really like to get this thing working (at least to try out
Doom 8).

The X server works fine with my old kernel, but when I start the
server on the 2.0.5 kernel it switches the display to a very dark blue
and I'm forced to reboot by CTRL-ALT-DEL.  And the monitor claims a VF
of 134Hz!!

Perhaps someone has an idea, what's going on here?

Thank you, -Arnulf
