You could look at the file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/Cards and the files in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc, if there are cards that are compatible to yours. I took the entries for my /etc/XF868Config from these files. > /dev/mouse (is a link to /dev/cuaa0) This works fine for me. /dev/cuaa0 is the first serial port (what dos calls COM1). Of course you can use another port (though the 3rd and 4th serial port can couse interrupt conflicts). > startx starts and screen goes blank and machine crashes. Have you redirected the output of startx into a file? Any usefull error message there? > > In FreeBSD, I can't find an entry in list of /dev/MAKDEV, the only > entries are for ttyd0 etc. How to make /dev/tty00? I don't think that this is the problem. Which X server have you chosen, i.e. which server does /usr/bin/X link to? The least critical one is probably XF86_VGA16. If it works, you could try XF86_SVGA, and after that find the correct accelerated server. > Thanks, > Ishwar Rattan Good Luck & bye, Philipp
