(NOT the ATI Ultra Plus or Ultra Pro, but the vailla 1 Meg Ultra) When I try "startx" my monitor (NEC 4FG) switches modes and then the server dies (fatal error -- no real explanation other than the usual "broken pipe" message). I am trying to get the Ultra working with either the ATI accelerated driver (1024x768 non-interlace) or 8514/A (also 1024x768 non-interlace). Has anyone done this? Or do I have to settle for 640x480 VGA? (I'd really rather not do that....) BTW, I am running FreeBSD 1.0.
