I'm running FreeBSD 1.0.2 on my home single board computer, which
has an OAK video chip to provide me with SVGA video on board. When I
was previously running FreeBSD 1.0-E, I had no problem running w/X11
and using the XF86_SVGA server.

However, with the SAME XFree distribution loaded onto my 1.0.2 system,
(I loaded it up a few weeks back), I notice that the server can no longer
probe my OAK hardware for some reason... 

I have made no changes to the hardware at all, only the O/S.. And then only
from 1.0-E to 1.0.2... This happens on the other few 1.0.2 upgraded systems
I have around the office of the same type...

Did anyone notice anything change in 1.0.2 that might account for this??

			Thanks!
