When X starts things look great. If I launch an Xterm, or anything that uses an Xterm, the server errors ... Error 25, errno 23: Inappropriate ioctl for device I looked through the FreeBSD mailing lists, and found a reference to this exact thing, with the same video card (Diamond Stealth 64 DRAM). The person never seemed to receive an answer, or fix for his problem. I don't think that this is due to the card though, but merely a coincedance, as I've replaced the card with other radically different video cards. No matter what, I always end up with the same error. I've replaced the binaries of everything and it's brother, and am out of ideas. Any help would be greatly appreciated. CCing replies to email would also be great. Thanks. -- mat. +-Matthew Stein------------------------------email: mstein@uoguelph.ca-+ | A little CompSci...a little B.Comm... phone: 519 824-4120x77318 | | University of Guelph | | http://www.uoguelph.ca/~mstein | +--Due to cutbacks, the light at the end of the tunnel's been dimmed.--+
