I am having trouble with getting XFree-86 2.0 running on my FreeBSD 1.0R
system. I have a Diamond Speedstar ET4000 card. No Plus, no II, no 24, just
Speedstar. The monitor is a ADI MicroScan 3E

When I run the SVGA server, it displays its config data, and the screen
blanks for about 3 seconds, then it comes back and my system is totally
hung.

There is no direct info on either the board (there is SS+HiColor) or the
monitor. Anyone got any ideas?
